lyrics

Intro:
I want to save them both
but you'd crush my hopes and dreams
My saving grace becomes a killing blow

Verse:
Your revolution's not my problem
After all I'm after one
my trust's been broken, crushed, and shattered
--don't confuse my help for interest
draw the line, don't draw conclusions
I'll right wrongs and call it even
Stand for something, stand for nothing
moral compass lost direction

Single-minded saviour complex
harbinger of mass destruction
endlessly equivocating
twisted image suits your purpose
Pay the price don't reckon with me
understand the hidden motive
curtains of deception crumble
best intentions, darkest hours

Chorus:
By my hand—you will fall!
My mistakes—bring your end!

Verse 2:
Crossroad choice determination
Altered timeline—curse or blessing
Clouded judgment takes its toll
revenge, redemption, power leverage
Keep your distance, steel yourself
what lies ahead is predetermined
find a way to prove your worth
we've all been used, the truth unravels

Spare a thought for me
I'll spare a soul but
don't call me an angel!

Bridge:
I want to save them both
but you'd crush my hopes and dreams
My saving grace becomes a killing blow

Chorus:
By my hand—you will fall!
My mistakes—bring your end!
Pay the price—curse my soul!
Seal your fate—hellbound sent!
