I wear this crown of pain For all the world to see Like a twisted badge of honor For all the world to see And like a gentle whisper My voice will carry on The silence drives you to madness As it will when I am gone
Look upon my picture Can you see me there? A subtle hint of innocence Although my heart will tear Though I am not present Though I have moved on I'll be here to remind you Of exactly what you've done
I can't forgive you No matter what you do Though I may be empty Though my time is through I won't release you From yourself until Your fate has been completed Your destiny fulfilled
Do you feel regret? Have you any guilt? Your conscience must still haunt you In the life that you have built I am not so bitter As to wish you pain Fate can be much crueler Than I could hope to explain
I can't forgive you No matter what you do Though I may be empty Though my time is through I won't release you From yourself until Your fate has been completed Your destiny fulfilled
