Call me when the fire,
From the preacher's burning
Guilt's in your eyes,
And you need someone to take the blame,
Once more, like you've done before
So when you need a scape goat,
Just place the blame on me
I never asked be anyone's hero,
I never asked to carry the torch
I'm here for you to crucify,
Waiting for your lies,
To save me once more
So let me take that cross from you,
I'll bury it like I always do
Out of the night and into the light
Where I swear my allegiance
I'll stand by your side,
And I will ease your sorrow and greed
Your burden, I will bare,
Your pain, I will share
To you I will surrender
But in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day
Once more, the fool's will return,
To parade you and mock you,
Until they hate you for what you've become
And you call me
But I am overburdened,
And I can take no more
I am what I am, but never before,
And no matter what, it'll settle the score
Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light
Where I swore my allegiance
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain
No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender
And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day
And dream, if only for a moment
For we are of a dying kind
You! You disparate me, rape me, hate me
'Till there is nothing left worth saving
My heart is cold and growing colder
Now be a man, just wake me when it's over
[Solo]
Deep in the night, I'll hide from the light
Where I swore my allegiance
I'll stand by your side,
And I won't ease your sorrow or pain
No burden to bare,
I've suffered my share,
Now gone, this feels so tender
And in the end,
I know I'll have the last laugh,
And smile at the dawn of solace,
And laugh on the reckoning day
And dream, if only for a moment
For we are of a dying kind
