[Verse 1] I feel like the villain, the dark in the play, The bringer of ruin who scares them away. A destroyer, a shadow they all despise, A curse in their hearts, a plague in their eyes. But under it all, what I truly crave, Is someone to love me, not to push me away. [Pre-chorus] [whisper] Whispers rising, shadows spread, Crown of fear upon my head. Chains can’t bind, I won’t confess, I’ll rise above their emptiness. [Chorus] Take me higher, call me liar, put the fire in my hands. Leave me quiet, send the letter, let me be in my own lands. [Verse 2] I see their lives consumed by flame, I feel their fear, I hear my name. Their pointed fingers, sharp and cold, Condemn me in the tales they told. They call me monster, nightmare-born, A raven guarding what is torn. [Pre-chorus] [whisper] Whispers rising, shadows spread, Crown of fear upon my head. Chains can’t bind, I won’t confess, I’ll rise above their emptiness. [Chorus] Take me higher, call me liar, put the fire in my hands. Leave me quiet, send the letter, let me be in my own lands. [Verse 3] Symbol of death, with wings of night, the final vision before your sight. An innocent caw cuts through the air, yet chills your skin with cold despair. I’m the omen of death, a creature dark, yet beautiful to breath. [Bridge] Whispers in the night, calling out my name, beauty dressed in shadow, dancing with the flame. [Final Chorus] Take me higher, burn my fire, let shadows crown my head. Call me liar, lost desire, but I rise from the dead.
