I am not here to earn any fame
To gain for myself power and glory
I do not care if you've heard my name
But I am the hero of this story
But now the voices start to call
Taunting me with forked tongues
The pressure's building up, I'll fall
But not before this fight is won
Despite what they tell me
Against all of their claims
I will have my victory
Even if nothing else remains
I am the ghost of horrors long past
Fate is my weapon, from heaven cast
Strong is my fortress, feeble my foes
I am the dragon without a soul
Queen of land as darkness takes hold
Spawning the wicked, plans to unfold
Now go before me, do what you must
Death is your dance, blood is your lust
Get out of my head!
I'm just like you, and you're like I was
Played them for fools, for all that it does
And I see you rising to nearly my height
Queen of the shadows, empress of night
I don't want to be the villain that's in me
I just want to save her from this pain
How I could ever fall so far is beyond me
I wish to be the hero in this endless game
And another one will speak
I'm over here!
Where?
Come find me!
What are the excuses you made?
Is that all enough for you?
Through all of your guilt you will wade
Your greatest fears coming true
And I will find another way
To convince you we are the same
Going nowhere, caught within your loop
Time moves on but you don't get the scoop
I want you gone!
I am just like you, and you are like me
Does that disturb you, a killer like me
To hear that you will kill your own friends
Just to be with them again and again
I don't want to be the villain that's in me
I just want to save her from this pain
How I could ever fall so far is beyond me
I wish to be the hero in this endless game
Another one will speak
Have you forgotten their names?
The others who die along the way
Can you imagine their shame
Dying as you go insane
Does it occur to you maybe
That you might be the root
As you drive yourself crazy
All of your reasons are moot
Go to hell!
I am like you are, and you're just like me
Maybe not exactly, but you will agree
We manipulate the truth to have what we see
And hide in the shadows to grow our insanity
I don't want to be the villain that's in me
I just want to save her from this pain
How I could ever fall so far is beyond me
I wish to be the hero in this endless game
Another one yet speaks
I own the visions detailing the future
Such horrible acts you have yet to have done
Silencing me is near impossible
Grinning like hellfire is what I call fun
Tending the gardens, this world I desire
Red bleeds from the roses, torching the choir
And my premonitions, determine your fate
I send you my love with all of my hate
Leave me alone!
You are like me, just as I'm like you
Trying in vain to control what you don't understand
Go ahead and wipe me off the face of the Earth
And see the world's blood on your hands
I don't want to be the villain that's in me
I just want to save her from this pain
How I could ever fall so far is beyond me
I wish to be the hero in this endless game
And all that's left is love
All that's left is fire!
All that's left is hate!
All that's left is revenge!
All that's left is blood!
