|
A vengeful angel flies around the sun, |
|
Dripping his wax down on those that watch. |
|
The feathers fall next, they're dancing down. |
|
Such a graceful decent, so unlike his own. |
|
Crashing down to earth, |
|
Destruction in his wake he caused. |
|
There I go again, trying to narrate |
|
So I could hide my role. |
|
Have to own up, have to concede, |
|
They used me like you. |
|
We all have our jobs, markers of our fate, |
|
That dictate our place. |
|
But now I know it's not his fault. |
|
How could I hold him responsible? |
|
So wrought by what I've done, |
|
I wouldn't wish it on anyone. |
|
So what of the man with the wooden god? |
|
Never did him good, |
|
But never steered him wrong. |
|
Can't claim the same, |
|
The blood on my hands |
|
Marks my guilt, exposes my crimes. |
|
I've played with lives, |
|
Like the Gods of old. |
|
But I'm no God |
|
I'm just a fool. |
|
The leader of the mob, |
|
King of the swayed, culpable. |
|
The moms and dads who turned to me |
|
Now clutch their torches at my door. |
|
Try to alleviate the burden of my guilt. |
|
I never really had agency. |
|
I'm just a false prophet, just a heretic, |
|
Powerless without your belief. |
|
But now I know it's not his fault. |
|
How could I hold him responsible? |
|
So wrought by what I've done, |
|
I wouldn't wish it on anyone. |
|
A young couple meets and falls in love |
|
And live so happily ever after, it's a platitude. |
|
But it's a lie, affections unrequited. |
|
The presence of someone else will complicate |
|
The best laid plans of invertebrates made evil by love. |
|
But now I know it's not his fault. |
|
How could I hold him responsible? |
|
So wrought by what I've done, |
|
I wouldn't wish it on anyone. |
|
Trapped inside a frame not of my design. |
|
Simply follow the story and remember the lines. |
|
I had no choice, this is how I was cast, |
|
This is how I was cast, I had no choice. |
|
Trapped inside a frame, not of my design, |
|
Follow what is destined and tow the line. |
|
There is no escape, that's why they call it fate. [x4] |
|
There is no escape |
