I'll walk up to heaven's doors,
and exchange my life for yours.

I came, I saw, I conquered,
from their soils, to their spoils, onward,
but my empire fell to the fire,
and the living and the undead remain,
to wash the wounds of the bloodstained.

I'm tied to the tide,
and these waters recede,
but at least i tried,
while they watched me bleed.

Could i defeat the pain,
the deceit made so plain?
They wanted peace of mind,
and i gave them a piece of mine.

They were never friends,
just people, under the pretense.
I gave in to the grave sin,
the very sins that i crave,
that have me caved in.

I won't succumb to the scum,
I'm going to overcome the slump,
and my time shall come, soon,
when I reach for the stars,
and land on the moon.

To all those who believed,
but were deceived.
