Every now and then I see them
(The) footsteps I’m supposed to walk
But the shadow falls dense around me
I’m just a candle to a roaring bonfire

Father, your ultimate sacrifice
Gave me safe passage back to the world
Now I’m stranded in this fool’s paradise
(And) there’s no cure for a shattered soul

People, I beg you
I am on my knees
I can’t stand this
It’s killing me

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

Mother, you laid all the hate on me
You both had a taste for saving the world
A mammoth undertaking
Was placed upon me

People, understand
I don’t want the throne

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself

You have to silence the fear you have in your heart
Always do more than what’s required of you

Even when you lose yourself
I will still be here for you
And those times I hurt myself
I will ask nothing of you, no
No, nothing of you in return

People, I beg you…
