justice at last
oppression is over
and decades of conflict have finally passed
desired relief
who would have thought
that the freedom we won was the key to our grief
I can't count the times
I've been at the brink of my capacities
wondering why we are here
put me out of my misery
save us from ourselves
spare me the visions of terror and loss
bitter embrace
you've shown your true colors
your treason and greed have disfigured your face
for better or worse
our future, once bright, lies in ruins
by god, our whole breed has been cursed
I can't count the times
I've been at the brink of my capacities
wondering why we are here
put me out of my misery
save us from ourselves
spare me the visions of terror and loss
take me beyond the horizon and
save me from myself
hold me until nothing else is real
prophecy, meant to be
the chosen one, the chosen one, the chosen one
