The story's mine, this is the life I chose
These are my crimes, these are the laws I've broke
I am a liar, these are the lies I've told
I am a figher, these are the lives I stole
These are the lives I've stole-oh-oh
These are the lives I've stole-oh-oh
The story's mine, this is the life I chose
These are my crimes, these are the laws I've broke
I am a liar, these are the lies I've told
I am a figher, these are the lives I stole
These are the lives I've stole-oh-oh
These are the lives I've stole-oh-oh
My scarlet heart, so stained and scarred
Dies and revives with each new stop and start
With each fault a grave, my sentance in place
And each rising beat in my ribs brings new grace
So thunder within, in this damned parted skin
Oh heart as you're burried and raised up again
The story's mine, this is the life I chose
This is the life I chose
