My former life thrown away Spent ages wandering, wandering to my fate You say the ba*tard shadow, shadow's come to stay You'll let me live if I can help you all to see another day I know I've made my mistakes Forced me into this role, anger I will slake You say the ba*tard shadow, shadow's come to stay You don't trust me, but you need me This scorned messiah, fake Locked up in the rain I'll do this once for you, but when I'm on my way It's not for resurrection, it's not for your affliction To redemption will the interceptor ride The demon rose, the demon came He said there's "too much violence" He said there's "too much pain" "Just walk away..." there'll be an end to it "Just walk away... there will be an end to the horror" Locked up in the rain I'll do this once for you, but then I'm on my way It's not for resurrection; it's not for your affliction To redemption will the interceptor ride
