Here comes fate adorned in his robes
They kneel before him, yet he's no king
If going against him is forfeiting my future
I'll write my own damned script
I hear them say, they'll take your head for this
But I don't want to die, stubborn as I am
I'll take this life an keep it close
How do I right these wrongs?
I washed my hands in the river -
I've cleaned my soul in the sky -
I am a part of this world and I don't want to die
I didn't think it would've ended like this
So here I stand with clenched fists
I washed my hands in the river -
I've cleaned my soul in the sky -
I am a part of this world and I don't want to die
I didn't think it would've ended like this
So here I stand with clenched fists
I hear my brother say I can make this right
He says that I can avoid this fight
Warnings I never thought I'd need -
Words I now must heed
My throat tightens as I learn what he knows
I'm choking on regret and it shows, and it shows -
And it shows. I'm choking on regret
I've washed my hands in the river -
I've cleaned my soul in the sky -
I am a part of this world and I don't want to die
I didn't think it would've ended like this
So here I stand with clenched fists
I've washed my hands in the river -
I've cleaned my soul in the sky -
I am a part of this world and I don't want to die
I didn't think it would've ended like this
So here I stand with clenched fists
