[Verse 1]

Face-down; this the way you taught me to abide

Down on my knees, I was just another servile bitch

I realized I was a whore begging for security

And such a coward, I‘d never have asked to be set free

[Chorus]

Please, tell me why should I disregard all the lies

And become everything I despise?

If I can find a meaning to this fearful life

I'll become the enemy of mankind

[Post-Chorus]

What did you conjecture to arise from the ashes

Of my broken self?

An obedient drone, just easy to bind?

I'm but the demon you devised

[Verse 2]

Tremble, you bastards; I represent all that you dread

It's so futile to think you can still control me

I've nothing to lose, for you have tainted everything I prized

Whatever you try, revenge is mine

[Chorus]

Please, tell me why should I disregard all the lies

And become everything I despise?

If I can find a meaning to this fearful life

I'll become the enemy of mankind

[Bridge]

I shall wipe this burden out

Victorious, I will stand above the mundane shame

You've forcefully trained me in

I'll concede nothing and never forget all your deeds of cruelty

Retribution is on the way, turning the war you've started

Into pure defeat

[Chorus]

Please, tell me why should I disregard all the lies

And become everything I despise?

If I can find a meaning to this fearful life

I'll become the enemy of mankind
