**************************************** Verse 1: **************************************** I've lost my battle before it starts my first breath wasn't done my spirit's sunken deep into the ground why am I alone I can hear my heartbeat silence's all around **************************************** Verse 2: **************************************** See hat will rise so don't come closer fear your child born with a king's heart but fate fooled me and changed my cards noone asked if I want it if I like it **************************************** Corus: **************************************** Pain inside is rising I am the fallen one a figure in an old game no Joker's on my side I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light and murder the dawn turn off the light and murder the dawn **************************************** Verse 3: **************************************** Nothing else, but laughter is around me forevermore noone can heal me nothing can save me noone can heal me I've gone beyond the truth it's just another lie wash away the blood on my hands my father's blood in agony we're unified I never wanted to be what they told me to be fulfill my fate then I'll be free god knows how long I tried to change fate **************************************** Solo 1 / Corus \ Solo 2 **************************************** Outro: **************************************** I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light and murder the dawn turn off the light and murder the dawn **************************************** THE END ****************************************
