If I am your shining example
Why do I have these darkened thoughts?
Tortured by the acts of violence
Justified by the battles that I've fought
If I saw the faces of my enemies
A culture I will change
But I will never know
I am no hero
I am the one who will live with this
And all I know is all I have is gone
We bleed the year and I
I am no hero
You will not see my weakness
And I will not be defended
The outcome is certain to our sponsors
We sold our souls and rained down terror
And now I've found my mirror's monsters
I cannot disregard the screams in the dark
In my dreams they come for me
I am no hero
I am the one who will live with this
And all I know is all I have is gone
We bleed the year and I
I am no hero
The sand that runs through my fingers
Is this what we're fighting for?
Dying for?
We are... we are... we are a lie
Everything that we had is gone
Justified by battles that we fought
Just because I am silent doesn't mean that I don't think
I am the lifeless assassin
A life that means nothing to me
But now I see
I had no options
Held up by these strings
Now I see that this is a lie
Everything that we had is gone
And I know this is gone
