I am ready to strike, don't step into my sights
I can kill with a lie
I am the fortress of power, I am the man of the hour
I am invincible now
No, I don't feel a thing, and a laugh hides what's within
And no-one can hurt me again, I have learned how to win
Fortunate son, second to none
But I have become...
Colder than space, and all that I say is
Falling away...
Into the dark, to be lost in the night
Where no-one can tell how I long for the light
Where I'm starting to see I can't play the game anymore
Can I start to believe I won't be this way anymore?
We risk all our life, when it's all we have
For what we've given the time, we got nothing back
We're risking our life, when it's all we have
For what we've given the time, I want something back
I promise you I won't play the game anymore
If you guarantee I won't feel this way anymore
That I could be human again, that I could be whole
That I'd be forgiven, to laugh from my soul
