Forgive me father, for I have sinned In the most elegant fashion A conspiracy smothered in passion A flaw so tragic it's as if he were asking for it to be exposed Forgive me father, but with all due respect I do not seek your approval nor do I fear your wrath This world is a war And your word is a weapon that's clenched and clung to their chests Forgive me father, and correct me if I'm wrong But you made this world so you could watch us burn it to ash And by thy will, my will I confess One man's rise from another man's death I'm the fatigue I'm the weakness in their knees I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight Forgive me father If I haven't made myself clear But as long as hell is any different from this Earth I can't imagine how it could be worse than here So out of your hands, I'll take this world And place it in my own instead If you only listened to me, then this wouldn't have to be the only option left One man's rise from another man's death I'm the fatigue I'm the weakness in their knees I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight Just wait, they'll all succumb It's the allure of a lure, it's the taste of the bait It's the view from the top, not the thrill of the chase That will make all of those who kneel loyally at your feet Grasp the floor on which you stand and rip it out from underneath And you'll fall with no support, because your support now works for me And on two broken legs you'll try to flee But you won't know where to run if you don't know who you're running from I'm the fatigue I'm the weakness in their knees I'm the inner beg and plea to buckle underneath the weight Just wait, they'll all succumb My kingdom come I've been dealing with this shit for way too long I've been waiting for my chance to turn the tables on this world I've been hearing screaming voices in my head Singing, "Let it burn, let it burn, let it burn, let it burn"
