What Unknown Force

How can someone who delivered such hope
Have none left for themselves?
And why did no one who believed his steel
Foresee the black dog stalking him?

Feeling great now, I won't tomorrow
But I'm better than yesterday
Thousands have died, only one that matters
Seems like they were his last straw
Healing pain now, silent tomorrow
Hail the conquest of yesterday
This one's for everyone, whose life's in tatters
With a black cloud that won't go away

What unknown force gave his revelation
At what cost was his salvation
What unknown force took his attention
What answer brought his destruction

Ideation of suicide solution
Delivers selfish peace whether we accept it or not
Uncertainty permeated destiny
'till the darkness became the light
Feeling great now, I won't tomorrow
But I'm better than yesterday
There's hope inside, and he brought it to us
Persevering where others fell
Healing pain now, silent tomorrow
Hail the conquest of yesterday
His creative, call to arms
Was beautiful idiocy

Times ticking, ticking on me
Do I want to die, or just want to be free
Five minutes, is all it takes
To be overwhelmed, by my perceived mistakes
Times ticking, ticking on me
Do I want to die, or just want to be free
Five minutes, is all it takes
To be overwhelmed, by my perceived mistakes

What unknown force gave his revelation
At what cost was his salvation
What unknown force took his attention
What answer brought his destruction

I'm glad I could not see into the future
Because this wonderful tale of old
Would have been ruined with this shit ending
No one dreamed would come to pass

Feeling great now, I won't tomorrow
But I'm better than yesterday
The needs of the one, outweigh the many
Even apocalyptically
Healing pain now, silent tomorrow
Hail the conquest of yesterday
As I draw strength, from the brotherhood
That rages against false steel

Times ticking, ticking on me
Do I want to die, or just want to be free
Clarity, bestows unto me
A yearning for eternal sleep
Times ticking, ticking on me
Do I want to die, or just want to be free
Clarity, bestows unto me
A yearning for eternal sleep

What unknown force gave his revelation
At what cost was his salvation
What unknown force took his attention
What answer brought his destruction
