If I don't do this for myself I'll become the man that I never wanted to be These were my virtues These are my beliefs I need to cast them aside And make something of my dreams I will show you I will leave you all behind I will give this my all I will make it count I won't be an anchor I'll carry my own weight I will follow the sunrise I will leave you behind Because this is the only chance I had to make something of my life Here I am drenched in fear I should've stayed where my path was so clear Embrace You must accept what you've done This is not the end You've only scratched the surface As the seas begin to tremble And the ways turn black I have put the fear of the ancient ones in their eyes My missions complete But at what cost I have given up on any hope that I had in you? One day you will all be forgotten And what will make of you? Then a new king will rise from the embers And we will all fade away This was the ugly truth that I tried to hide from you And tonight I'm leaving you behind, humankind
