[Verse 1]
I've spent all of this time
A cauldron stirring hate despite
How every second I've been gone
Are seconds gone to waste
But here you are, it's unexplained
It's what can only be my fate
We share a common point of view
I'm glad we can relate
[Pre-Chorus 1]
All-powerful and pained
Par for the masquerade
What once was fueling rage
Is now part of the game
My vision through your eyes
Our coalescing minds
Have given me new life
And now their lives are mine
[Chorus]
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Of every brawl victorious
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Hundreds of voices cry above
Their pleading echoing at once
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Verse 2]
You've faced monsters on your own
You've even stood before a throne
Maybe in other lives, you've
Held on despite everything
But here and now, you'll finally know
Just what it means to lose control
Just what it's like to watch them burn
And never feel a thing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
All-knowing and so pained
Par for the masquerade
What once wanted to save
Has now become a slave
My vision through your eyes
Our coalescing minds
Have given me new life
And now we intertwine
[Chorus]
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Of every brawl victorious
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Hundreds of voices cry above
Their pleading echoing at once
"We thought you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Post-Chorus]
No man can stop this wave
No beast is standing in my way
No one below or in the sky
Will be the one who's left alive
Once full of mercy, full of love
You fear just what I have become
You know I'd walk a million miles
To set your world on fire
Your world on fire
[Bridge]
It seems we two have reached the absolute
There's nothing left to see, nothing to do
We both have greater things we can pursue
I think it's time we moved to something new
Amusing, is not? How far you'll go
To keep this world from being left alone
How you would face me here and tell me "no"
As if you were the one who had control
[Chorus]
As blade and brawn clash in the dust
Of every brawl victorious
No rhyme or reason, just a smile
That's only growing wider
Hundreds of voices cry above
Their pleading echoing at once
"We taught you'd free us from our trial"
But I have brought their pyre
[Post-Chorus]
No man can stop this wave
No beast is standing in my way
No one below or in the sky
Will be the one who's left alive
Once full of mercy, full of love
You fear just what I have become
You know I'd walk a million miles
To set your world on fire
