Forced by the pressure,
The territories marked,
No longer the pleasure,
Oh, I´ve since lost the heart.
Corrupted from memory,
No longer the power,
It´s creeping up slowly,
That last fatal hour.
Oh, I don´t know what made me,
What gave me the right,
To mess with your values,
And change wrong to right.
Please keep your distance,
The trail leads to here,
There´s blood on your fingers,
Brought on by fear.
I campaigned for nothing,
I worked hard for this,
I tried to get to you,
You treat me like this.
It´s just second nature,
It´s what we´ve been shown,
We´re living by your rules,
That´s all that we know.
I tried to get to you,
I tried to get to you,
I tried to get to you,
I tried to get to you.
