You don't know your limits
You ignore your pain
You think if they don't see it
That that equates to strength

Your words burst like explosions
Spoken with passion, fury, fire...
Your actions quake, but in their wake
You desolate what is worthwhile

All you want is power
All you want is fame
But every word strikes terror
And fast inspire fear and hate

You wanted them to respect you
But now you've made them your enemies
And as for those who were closest to you
Well you have chased them all away

Yet still you wont admit it
That the choices that you made were wrong
Your bitterness just fuels wrath
That you'll unleash upon them all!

You dare not to regret it
Or believe this path you've chosen is folly
You force yourself to believe that
Only the weak would say they're sorry

And so every past mistake you've made
Just culminates into another one
You let the darkness consume you
You say it's too late!
You're too far gone!

But know that the light is coming soon
And in a flash of bright, pure glory
You'll finally be seen for what you are
And witness the ending to your story

Will admit to all you've done?
Will you seek forgiveness from the people?
Or will you hold fast to your pride
And speak lies, deny.. that you were evil?

But perhaps a better thing to ask
Is before this all even started...
What made you think that strength was cruel?
And why was it that's what you wanted?

True strength is not unmerciful
True strength is not unkind!

True strength is being reckless

Reckless enough... to do what's right
