[Verse 1: Peter Steele]

She thinks I'm Iron Man

That I don't feel pain

I don't understand why joy

Must be feigned

I'm so fortunate yet

Filled with self-hate

That the mirror shows

Me an ingrate


[Verse 2: Peter Steele]

I could easily start

Pointing fingers

Since the blame is mine

It always lingers

That the truth it lies in

My reflection

No, this can't go on

There's no question


[Chorus: Kenny Hickey]

Yeah, I know

That my world is coming down

Yeah, I know, I know

I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down

Bring it on down


[Verse 3: Peter Steele]

How quickly pass the days

Long is the night

Lying in bed awake

Bathed in starlight

Better to live

As king of beasts

Than as a lamb

Scared and weak


[Verse 4: Peter Steele]

I will deny my role

As a human

Holding myself hostage

With no demands

It's better to burn

Quickly and bright

Than slowly and dull

Without a fight


[Instrumental Bridge]


[Chorus: Peter Steele]

Well, I know, mm

That my world is coming down, mm mmm

Now I know, I know

I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down

Bring it on down

I know

That my world is coming down

Yeah, I know, I know

I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down

Yeah, I know

That my world is coming down

Yeah, I know, I know

I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down

Bring it on down

Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Oh! Rwah! Ohh!

Oh, I know

That my world is coming down

Yeah, I know, I know

I'm the one who brought it down, brought it down

Bring it on down

Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ohh!

Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ohhh!

Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ooh! Rwah! Ohhh!

Oooh! Rwah!...
