Call me when the fire from the preacher’s burning

Guilt’s in your eyes and you need someone to take the blame

Once more, like you’ve done before

So when you need a scapegoat just place the blame on me

I never asked be anyone’s hero,

I never asked to carry the torch

I’m here for you to crucify

Waiting for your lies to save me once more

So let me take that cross from you

I’ll bury it like I always do

Out of the night and into the light where I swear my allegiance

I’ll stand by your side and I will ease your sorrow and greed

Your burden I will bear, your pain I will share

To you I will surrender

But in the end I know I’ll have the last laugh

And smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

Once more, the fool’s will return to parade you and mock you

Until they hate you for what you’ve become

And you call me

But I am overburdened and I can take no more

I am what I am, but never before

And no matter what, it’ll settle the score

Deep in the night, I’ll hide from the light where I swore my allegiance

I’ll stand by your side and I won’t ease your sorrow or pain

No burden to bear, I’ve suffered my share

Now gone, this feels so tender

And in the end I know I’ll have the last laugh

And smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

And dream, if only for a moment

For we are of a dying kind

You! You disparate me, rape me, hate me

‘Till there is nothing left worth saving...

My heart is cold and growing colder...

Now be a man, just wake me when it’s over

Deep in the night, I’ll hide from the light where I swore my allegiance

I’ll stand by your side and I won’t ease your sorrow or pain

No burden to bear, I’ve suffered my share

Now gone, this feels so tender

And in the end I know I’ll have the last laugh

And smile at the dawn of solace

And laugh on the reckoning day

And dream, if only for a moment

For we are of a dying kind!
