A monster, a monster I'm only a man with a candle to guide me I'm taking a stand to escape what's inside me I've turned into a monster And it keeps getting stronger If I told you what I was Would you turn your back on me? And if I seem dangerous Would

I'm on my way back home Take the hand Guide the way Find the truth Take your heart into your hand To tempt the fool into the mine Let loose the snake with antidote

Who will find me Take care and side with me Guide me back Safely to my home Where I belong Now my heart begins to bleed Dee dee dee dee dee ooh oh Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Where has all our loving gone

Traveling endlessly I'm going away for a while But I'll be back, don't try and follow me Cause I'll return as soon as possible See I'm trying to find my place But it might not be here where I feel safe We all learn to make mistakes From them, from them

Do you remember me? Guilt, she is the governess that guides me back to grief Who did you say you were? I didn't catch your name Falling down to earth Down from a higher plane Oh, it's been decades Say, what did you see? Oh, I've been so lonely

Pull me down again Please remedy my confusion And thrust me back to the day The silence of your seclusion Brings night into all you say And guide me into pain I'm counting nocturnal hours Drowned visions in haunted sleep

Selfless are the righteous Burden me, lead me like a lamb to the slaughter Tears fall from the shameless Shelter me, guide me to the edge of the water Standing on the backs of angels Destined to create Mounting the attack While heroes carry your weight
