Mine to Direct

Thought I was different but not by enough
And I'm facing this darkness with my head in the sand
Your hands clean and your conscience clear
Wish you could strike the blow and be rid of this fear

I'll try for penance but you know that it won't be for me
No, it won't be my own
My devotions still carries me home

I don't care about the cost
My ambitions rules the fall
I want to drag you all down with me
Through it all
The shred of sanity was lost
So you could walk along the line
And may you claim this as your own funeral
I made it through mine

As I was reckless my ambitions were cruel
Yet the actions of justice were mine to direct
With your eyes forward make the sentence known
Make the axes fall and let our blood be spilled

When all is said and all is done
When you have all and I have none

I close my eyes out of fear, black out
For what I've done for my cause; it's mine and mine alone
Wait till you see what I left
An open wound, a reason to heal

I'll try for penance but you know that it won't be for me
No, it won't be my own
My devotions still carries me home

I don't care about the cost
My ambitions rules the fall
I want to drag you all down with me
Through it all
The shred of sanity was lost
So you could walk along the line
And may you claim this as your own funeral
I made it through mine
