mephistopheles is dead
but the last thing
the little b****** said
was that any fool
can have my crown
if they can claim the lost
before they're found
your broken heart
will mend in time
but some crusades
just cross the line
it's a hard way out
it's a hard way out I know
you don't have to
be the only one
trying to save the world
you don't have to
hold on to the stone
to save the girl
there's a bluebird
at your window
and that's a myth
about the rain
the hard way out
is hopeless
and that ain't ever
going to change
faces flashing in the sky
all around the room
and the reasons why
is this revenge or
just release
you don't have
to hurt yourself
to keep the peace
these could be
the best years
you could fly and
you can shine
you do not have to prove
to anyone that you are strong
or that you were right
but the last thing
