Have you ever wished you could just walk away from it all?

Close your eyes and let it fade to grey

Have you ever known your life was never your own?

In a wicked game with no choice to play

Oh how naive I was when I thought

I could change the world for good

Little did I know in the end

You can't defeat your fate

True nature of man

Made me who I am

To be the beacon of hope in a cruel world

As you shine for them you burn yourself

Know they take it all then leave you behind

Of all bereft, nothing left

Have you ever wished there was a way to cease the decay?

Lose them all till there was no one left to betray

Have you ever known your soul was the price you will pay?

For every soul you save, a piece of yours you lay

Oh how naive I was when I thought

I could change the world for good

Little did I know in the end

It was the world that changed me

True nature of man

Made me who I am

To be the beacon of hope in a cruel world

As you shine for them you burn yourself

Know they take it all and leave you behind

Of all bereft, nothing left
