"Now it's time to fight for your country" the King, as he sipped his cup And we felt a patriotic fervor "we will fight, it is our right" and the country suddenly found itself finally united and we sailed and took the islands "now you're free, free from the opression" but we were much too young or blind to see what was going on Soon they came and we fought and the veil was broken we were young, we were children and they us apart but how could we lose? how could we die? how could this happen to us? and we clearly saw what was going on and the country suddenly found itself face to face with the truth Soon they came and we fought and the veil was broken we were young, we were children and they us apart Soon they came and we fought and the veil was broken we were young, we were children and they us apart and now I see after all this years we were merely pawns a drunk man grasping at straws Please, no more Please, no more I'll never be able to move on from John's loss he was my anchor Now I drift forever In my mind I am lost Soon they came and we fought and the veil was broken we were young, we were children and they us apart but how could we lose? how could we die? how could this happen to us? and we clearly saw what was going on

I have fought for a thousand years and now it's time to rest it is time to admit what I really want It's time to give in the quest to make you think is pointless but I will make you feel I fought all I could I tried to repress I gave all I had but now my time is gone I was killed by a little girl while playing in the yard now my spirit's in a music box she plays me for the crowds It's time to give in to finally sell my soul to the machine and complete my fate I crawled in the carpet I followed the blind one I tried to find John but he's time is gone Can't you see I have fooled you all? I'm not what I seem it's a spoonfull of a miracle, come on child, take my hand It's time to give in the quest to make you think is pointless but I will make you feel I rode the scree I jumped in the rapids I tried to find John but he's time is gone I crawled in the carpet I followed the blind one I tried to find John but he's time is gone and now my time is gone

It's time to realize there is nothing you can do It's time to realize you're not gonna make it through You better stop waisting your time Don't be so naive, stop waisting your life The Time has Come and there isnothing I can do or say The time has come I am banished from the earth The Time has Come and there isnothing I can do or say The time has come I am banished from the earth You think you're special but you're not the only one You think you're special but, in fact, you cannot shine You better stop waisting your time Don't be so naive, stop waisting your life The Time has Come and there isnothing I can do or say The time has come I am banished from the earth The Time has Come and there isnothing I can do or say The time has come I am banished from the earth

Sellout! 04:08
There is no easy way to say this so I'll just take it off my chest: I don't really see the point of staying with you We're over now, you'll hold me back no more Goodbye though it is more than you deserve Goodbye I am too much for you Admit it, you knew it was coming we always wanted really different things You never could live up to my expectations It's over now, you'll hold me back no more Goodbye I can't be the only one Goodbye that cares for us Chorus: You'll never know this is not what I wanted I gave my everything to make it work but it seems I was the only one who cared It will be better this way I guess you are probably happy you never had the guts to stand up and say what you really meant so it's probably a relief you are not the one that has to bring this up Goodbye I won't waste a second on you Goodbye you're not worth my time Chorus: You'll never know this is not what I wanted I gave my everything to make it work but it seems I was the only one who cared It will be better this way Now once again I'm by myself I guess I'm damned to loneliness Chorus: You'll never know this is not what I wanted I gave my everything to make it work but it seems I was the only one who cared It will be better this way

Absolutely no commercial potencial that it's what they always say Absolutely no commercial potencial that it's what they always say Yeah We have always dreamed that we would save the world open their eyes with our music Like our Gods before us we'd follow their footsteps lead a new Renaissance Yeah Sign this and you'll be a star forget your tribulations Admit that fame was all you always wanted I will give you my soul my hopes, my dreams, my future 'cause you're right it's what I always wanted What else can I do now that you are gone? What else can I do now I'm left alone? You'll be bigger than Jesus Christ all the girls will adore you All you have to do is sing the songs we give you What else can I do now that you are gone? What else can I do now I'm left alone? I will play and beat them at their own game when I'm big enough they'll see I'll follow the rules as long as it suits me when I'm big enough they'll see All my life I've been dreaming about this the time has come what would you think of what I have become? have I lost my purpose? How I wish you were here with me the world is ours All my dreams will finally be fulfilled I will change the world Have I lost my way and will I be able to return to my path? I have played their game to find there's no way out like a rat inside a maze I have tried to find my way with no success nothing of me remains I have sold my soul my hopes, my dreams,my future and they got my mind as well Now I'm lost inside this maze but the worst part is that I don't even care I have always dreamed that I would save the world open their eyes with my music Like my Gods before us I followed their footsteps sold my soul to the machine
