You may have taken the lead But I'll even the score You won the battle You won't win the war Not now and nevermoreYou talked of subjugation I answered your violent plea Youth and infatuation Kept me too blind to seeYou think you're someone's hero You're hiding more than your eyes I challenge your weak manifesto The goal of a savior is not to be lionizedBack when it started I thought that justice was your goal Then in the darkness You lost your mind, I lost my soul That's in the past and I won't be controlledNevermore, nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head Nevermore, nevermore Will I be afraid, nor will I run awayIt's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead, but I'll even the score You won the battle, you won't win the war Not now and nevermoreYou had me down, defeated A state that I can't allow It's over, my fear's retreated I'm more like an army nowYou offered hope, salvation Gave me a place to be But your vision of liberation Was all about you, it would never apply to meI won't stay a martyr It's my turn to take back what you stole And this time I'm smarter I made a vow, I'm not alone Not dying now, we're protecting our ownNevermore, nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head Nevermore, nevermore Will I be afraid, nor will I run awayIt's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead, but I'll even the score You won the battle, you won't win the war Not now and nevermoreThere's no cause to celebrate Another soul consumed by hate and spite Another destroyed life There's no pleasure, there's no joy It's just a story of a boy who lost his way Into shadows strayed He'll see the light of dayNevermore, nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head Nevermore, nevermore Will I be afraid, nor will I run awayIt's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead, but I'll even the score You won the battle, you won't win the war Not now and nevermore
