The Great Misconceptions of Me
Welcome to the show the great finale's finally hereI thank you for coming into my theatre of fearWelcome to the show, you're all witnesses you seeA privileged invitation to the last rights of me
Remember me? You can't save meMama you never needed meNo crimson king, look in my eyes, you'll seeMama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna beThe crimson idol of a millionI don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna beThe crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million
I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamedThe idol of a million lonely faces look at meBehind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyesI've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercyLong live, long live
There is no love, to shelter meOnly love, love set me freeNo love, to shelter me, only love, love set me freeI was the warrior, with an anthem in my soulThe idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage agoAnd remember me when it comes your time to chooseBe careful what ya wish for, it might just come true
Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boyThe strap on my backRed, crimson red, no I was never to beOnly one crimson son, no it never was me
Living in the limelight little did I knowI was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soulIt was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamedBut the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me screamWith these six-strings, I make a nooseTo take my life, it's time to chooseThe headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide
Oh sweet silence, where is the stingI am no idol, no crimson kingI'm the imposter, the world has seenMy father was the idol, it was never meI don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna beThe crimson idol of a millionI don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna beThe crimson idol of a million eyes
No love, to shelter me, only loveLove set me freeNo love, to shelter me, only loveLove set me free
