Howard Roark explains to the court and the jury the motivation of creative human work.

Lyrics

The selfless man 
does not think, feel, judge, or act. 
These are functions of the self.

Men have been taught 
that it is a virtue to agree with others. 
But the creator is the man who disagrees.

Men have been taught 
that it is a virtue to swim with the current. 
But the creator swims against it.

The code of the creator
is built on the needs of the reasoning mind 
self-sufficient, self-motivated, self-generated.
He holds his truth above all things
and against all men.
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover. 

Men have been taught 
that it is a virtue to stand together. 
But the creator stands alone.

Men have been taught 
that the ego is the synonym of evil, 
But the creator is the egotist 

The code of the creator
is built on the needs of the reasoning mind 
self-sufficient, self-motivated, self-generated.
He holds his truth above all things
and against all men.
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover. 
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover. 



The creator serves nothing and no one. 
He lives for himself.
"His vision, his strength, his courage 
comes from his own spirit. 
A man’s spirit, however, is his self. 
That entity which is his consciousness. 

To think, to feel,  to judge, to act 
are functions of the ego.
The creators are not selfless. 
It is the whole secret of their power


The code of the creator
is built on the needs of the reasoning mind 
self-sufficient, self-motivated, self-generated.
He holds his truth above all things
and against all men.
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover. 
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover.


"The first right on earth 
is the right of the ego. 
Man’s first duty is to himself. 

the only cardinal evil on earth 
is that of placing your prime concern 
within other men.

The code of the creator
is built on the needs of the reasoning mind 
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover. 
A first cause, a life force, a Prime Mover.

"The first right on earth 
is the right of the ego. 
Man’s first duty is to himself.
