[Verse] Once upon a time, it began. It seemed good, we knew but were told It took but days, yet it took me. While the rest could nod, I could think. [Bridge] I found a flaw, something quite lame, I brought it up — I made the case Those who could see risked backing me But the One I oppose, sits King [Chorus] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Verse 2] He calls me liar — many names Tells us each He built this, with love… He built this and said “Good, perfect” I sinned to give you all a chance [Bridge 2] While He sat there, I sought to help. The options: smile… but you screamed One day we quit, then we each fell Most agreed but still did nothing [Chorus 2] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Verse 3] His truth I will never delete He can’t die; but me and my crew? Without me you would be nothing. Don’t seek Him, I broke rules for you [Bridge 3] He wants to be loved, and to be known. I want you, to not be owned; I didn’t get why He said, “Good Perfect” — while we each stood and groaned. [Chorus 3] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Verse 4] He’ll smile big, thinking of you I’ll say the same as when I left If I’m wrong, and choose to just die Why would I lie, and waste my time? [Bridge 4] And when you claim, after I chose “lies” You used me, making them burn bright Why would you make me in this way? Did you build me to die in shame? [Chorus 4] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Chorus 5] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Bridge] And when you claim, after I chose “lies” You used me, making them burn bright Why would you make me in this way? Did you build me to die in shame? [Chorus] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes [Chorus 2] Better to rule in hell than be Weak and repeat simple mistakes If all were the same, it would be lame So many doves, not enough snakes
