I Will Prevail
A child believes the best in you
And that belief always makes the darkest lies seem almost true
A sleight of hand
This almost truth can beguile the purest youth to Wonderland
Now every piece is in place
And all that's left to erase
Before I take over all the power
Is every trace of dear Alice and the queen
She's been a thorn in my side
And she can run, but can't hide
We're fast approaching the witching hour
And settling scores is my routine
Oh, well, all's well ends well
Farewell, Alice
Too late! Checkmate is your fate
It's over!
I come alive (ah)
When you're afraid (oh)
I write the ending of your tragic fairy tale
I will survive and you will fade
A withered flower, small and frail
While I prevail
This time it's gonna be me
The last thing that you'll ever see
An Armageddon of my devicing (oh)
There's no way you can escape from what I do (oh-oh)
So leave you half-hearted soul
For me to bully and rule
A sly magician of compromising (oh)
To conjure all that is false until it's true
Poor Jack, Blackjack, sad sack
Fallen hero (ah)
Bad news! You lose, light the fuse
It's over!
(Ah) you die, I thrive (oh)
And so it goes
I am the ending of your tragic fairy tale
I will survive, and heaven knows
There is no way that I can fail
I will prevail!
And that belief always makes the darkest lies seem almost true
A sleight of hand
This almost truth can beguile the purest youth to Wonderland
Now every piece is in place
And all that's left to erase
Before I take over all the power
Is every trace of dear Alice and the queen
She's been a thorn in my side
And she can run, but can't hide
We're fast approaching the witching hour
And settling scores is my routine
Oh, well, all's well ends well
Farewell, Alice
Too late! Checkmate is your fate
It's over!
I come alive (ah)
When you're afraid (oh)
I write the ending of your tragic fairy tale
I will survive and you will fade
A withered flower, small and frail
While I prevail
This time it's gonna be me
The last thing that you'll ever see
An Armageddon of my devicing (oh)
There's no way you can escape from what I do (oh-oh)
So leave you half-hearted soul
For me to bully and rule
A sly magician of compromising (oh)
To conjure all that is false until it's true
Poor Jack, Blackjack, sad sack
Fallen hero (ah)
Bad news! You lose, light the fuse
It's over!
(Ah) you die, I thrive (oh)
And so it goes
I am the ending of your tragic fairy tale
I will survive, and heaven knows
There is no way that I can fail
I will prevail!
