I hide from the sun, bring the shadows and the cold
I flee from the commons, for i shall not fill a mold
You say i am different, you say I am dark
Because I am myself, for i do not bear the mark
Of the millions that follow, someone they only see
I am an original, no copies, no clones, no kings, just me
For I will stand alone, if it means to stay true
I will not fall victim, like have all of you
That have lost their own sight, and their minds alk the same
As to become but a number, not me, you will hear of my name
Written in history books, or etched into stone
You'll know i stood proudly, even if now i am alone
I flee the commons

I hide from the sun, bring the shadows and the cold
I flee from the commons, for i shall not fill a mold
You say i am different, you say I am dark
Because I am myself, for i do not bear the mark
Of the millions that follow, someone they only see
I am an original, no copies, no clones, no kings, just me
For I will stand alone, if it means to stay true
I will not fall victim, like have all of you
That have lost their own sight, and their minds alk the same
As to become but a number, not me, you will hear of my name
Written in history books, or etched into stone
You'll know i stood proudly, even if now i am alone
I flee the commons
