Here I write my lullaby
I take my pen and teach you how to live
A hopeful hero’s speech
The anthem of the underground
To all the lonely ones
To those who sing alone

I am the chosen
I am the unspoken
I am the broken
I am the cursed
I am the worst
The one they left behind
Wretched and divine

Can you hear the march of the rejects?
Line up in the parade of the defects?
Eyes of the dismissed?
Hearts of the used?
The faithful and the blind?
Innocence is forsaken
They call me a nothing

Church of fear
Church of failure
Church of fools
They feel like a distant memory

They might call me a sinner
The devil in the mirror is screaming that my heart is flawed
“You’re on your own”
The new hate with the same lost values
“What lives deeper in death?”

Every day feels like a war
This war of hearts is haunting me
An army strong as one
A land where chaos reigns
A land that bows down to broken ways
A land where sins are gripping tighter
A land dead and broken
I survived
I will not surrender
But I fall down to my knees

I never knew that hope was fatal
Until I looked it in the eye
Stay alone, count your fears
Death is from depths of silence
I’m just a human, not ready to die

Beginner and sinner
In blood I draw the line
I’ve given all my pride
Save me from the darkest places
Save me from myself

Lions guarding castle walls
Jewel upon the crown
I lost it all
But you can never take this dream from me

My back’s against the wall
Just trying to breathe
Just trying to figure it out
I built these walls to watch them crumbling down

I was the fear of men
I held the key to the kingdom
I ruled the world
But I was blind
I couldn’t see the world there right in front of me
Takin’ life I have made
I’m tearin’ through this calm
The reaper of disaster
Crack bones with blind agression
I live just to conquer
So self righteous
Hail to the king of death
Deep inside my heart I’m still here
Who can save me now?
