Open your eyes and let's watch the tale
let's hear the sounds made when words fail
deprive devotion and feel the burn
this life of luxury you didn't earn
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can say to make me believe.
and now you're gone again, I regret I called you a friend
and now I'm lost again, when will this story end?
They'll keep you hidden, in their hive mind
every decision made to keep you blind
are you with me, or on their side?
their poison words were just a matter of time
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can do to make me believe.
and now you hide your face, I see you've not forgotten shame
Was I hard to replace? Do you remember my name?
and so you're doing everything they say
committing these atrocities in their name
is this really what you want me to be?
there's nothing you can do to make me believe.
And so I'm doing everything you say
Committing these atrocities in your name
Is this really all you wanted from me?
I can't believe it took so long for me to see.
And now you run away, I'm glad I got my point across.
There's nothing left to say, I think it's time I cut you off.
...
I was the first to watch you burn,
I gave up everything to ensure you'll get what you deserve
for everyone you've hurt, for every life you've made worse
I'll put an end to the curse, I was the first to watch you burn
I gave up everything to ensure, you'll get what you deserve.
