I force you to stand in line with me
To see the world that you refuse to see
Witness chaos you've created
Let me show you how it's meant to be
Time, the bare essence of life
Slipping through my fingers
Severing my veins like a knife
A few more days, is that all I'm worth?
No strength is left in me to fight
Worse off than the unfortunate
Everything you do is "justified"
Something I will never forget
Devouring what's left of my conscience
I'll forever be an empty shell
What are they saying? It's all nonsense!
Hope you'll remember the way I fell
The stage is not set for me
I am the new beginning
Will not wait for eternity
Stepping forward willingly
Hearing the roar of the crowd
Their anger gives me strength
I become part of the blissful sound
Until you lose to freedom's reign
