-----life undone---------
look at everything i've done
spent my whole life learning
my whole life opening up
and this, this is what i get
you always kill the good ones,
the bad guys get to stay
i don't see the point
i gave it all up for you
i hoped you'd find the light
i just wanted us to be free
everybody keeps on stopping me
i've replaced the sun
i didn't want this
i tried to stop it
all the good i've done will be
forgotten
my life undone
and now we're here, at the end,
and you kill me too soon
and for what?
i didn't do it so you could find utopia
just helping you find some inner peace
you always kill the good ones,
the bad guys get to stay
I'm trying to make you see
this is not okay
i've replaced the sun
i didn't want this
i tried to stop it
all the good i've done will be
forgotten
my life undone
two thousand years later
at the end of the age
my story so wrong
when i never wanted this at all
i'm just a man
don't believe the stories
they're based on old fairy tales
but i'm none of it
i'm just a man
a life of symbols
a life of love
a night of pain
a gift of hope
