And never again will I be reminded
   Am                   F#
Of living within the world of the jaded

They kill inspiration
    F#
It's my obligation

To never again, allow this to happen

Where do I begin?

Denying the sin

My art, my redemption

To change myself, I'd rather die

Though they will not understand

I won't make the greatest sacrifice

Change again, cannot be considered

Where do I begin?

The choices are endless

My art, my redemption, my only salvation

I carry the gift that I have been blessed with

My soul is adrift in oceans of madness

Repairing the rift that you have created

I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now

I'm no slave

Are you feeling brave?

No more games

It won't feel the same

If I hold my anger inside
Am
There's no meaning

My soul is bleeding
