It's not common of me to be late,
It's not something for which I strive,
Day in and day out you sit out front and wait,
You wait to see if I'm late so you may wake the hive.
The hive of insults and jeers,
Just to make me look inadequate,
You amp it up inside just for the cheers,
the cheers of all inside who want me to quit.
It's not something I want,
All this hate because of a mistake,
With my head hung low as you flaunt
The fire you brought to me tied at the stake.
Enjoy yourself for now
because soon that fire will be mine.
And when its mine you'll wonder how
You became the first burning in line.
The fires of my rage burn brighter and brighter
while your darkness grows dimmer.
The day is coming for me to be free,
And a glorious revenge I
WILL
TAKE.

And when its mine you'll wonder how
You became the first burning in line.
The fires of my rage burn brighter and brighter
while your darkness grows dimmer.
The day is coming for me to be free,
And a glorious revenge I
