Believer, the spotlight's on the subject so incorrect
In suggestion, suggest that I'm someone you should not respect
Oh, you wear your façade so well, covered up in a plastic shell
You're a liar to everyone around you, just don't forget
Face the honest truth
You would never, you
Now be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangmen hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive
And you talk of me (x2)
Can you remember when there was no wrong in what I could do?
So young, biting off way more than I could chew
And then one day I grew too old, and my cares were now theirs to mourn
Please accept this as my resignation, it's my time to go
Face the honest truth
You would never, you
Now be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangmen hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet, I'm alive
Oh, I'm alive
I will now bleed for what I believe in
No more mistakes for them to make for me
So goodbye, it's my time
For me, to be me
Face the honest truth
You would never, you
Now be defiant, the lion
Give them a fight that will open their eyes
Hangmen hooded, softly swinging
Don't close the coffin yet
I'm alive (x4)
