The Bearer of Bad News

Child, you were a martyr You carried all of the world then Just a child, but a pillar of the Earth (Look at what they've done to me!) Place your hands together and remember how... ...do I see inside myself? I don't wanna be the reaper - no more dancing on a grave, nah! But I got these shoes shined, the cloak is mine, and I'm getting braver I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've been waiting for you Cast your sorrows away For I can conjure lifetimes A future so out of reach for you is hanging from my hand So take all you want and be endless like I am I don't wanna sit and play naysayer But these odds don't fall in your favour So go and take that promise that I gave ya Swallow it whole and call me your saviour Cast your sorrows to flames Not in a thousand lifetimes Did they imagine a chance for you, now it's hanging from my hand So take what you want and be part of the higher plan... Be vile like I know you can... Be endless like I am! I have shown you everything, the essence at my command Unbound and without end - when I walk the moon it guides my hand, and There's a change in the air tonight, and the dust unsettled stirs And the wind picks up and delivers us worlds away from what we were, now I can control your choice Steal the breath right from your lungs and harvest your voice Cast down, you swear you're not to blame But if my story lives, then rest assured they'll use your Name Chai chu meung
