[Intro]

Go!


[Verse 1]

All my life I have been used by you

Time has come, our game of love is through

Since I was born I've lived in the cold, I've lived in the dark

Now I want heat, now I want light-igniting spark

I'm not a martyr, but I am truth, and you are a liar

But now my life of constant sadness goes up in the fire


[Chorus]

I will

Be heard

And I will

Be heard


[Verse 2]

Step on me, I'm here for you to see

I hope you choke as I go up in flames

I told you my problems but you never heard a word

This is the moment, for once in my life I will be heard

I know there must be a better way but I don't know how

You've lied to me and you've ignored me, but you won't now


[Chorus]

I will

Be heard

And I will

Be heard


[Verse 3]

All my life I have been used by you

Time has come, our game of love is through

A burning passion from a burning mass reaches up for the sky

I've called you here, my devoted family, turn to watch me die

I'm not a martyr, but I am truth, and you are a liar

So now my life of constant sadness goes up in the fire


[Outro]

Yeah!

One, two, three, four!
