I Can, I Will

My eyes drag me down When I look around and see what I'm not Is there, anywhere, a stairway to the top? Watch me, never again Will I look down and feel this pain Cause now, step by step I start to climb and leave these cries behind You can’t prevent me from growing I can, I will ruin the living All men will see their end coming And I will be the last one standing I can – I can I will – I will There’s nothing that I can’t achieve Through sheer will the world I live in will belong to me Like the shadows spread when the day comes to an end My empire will expand, all will fall under my command What now? Where is your smile Now I am the raven you are the mouse Too late to give up your pride to join my side I am what you created Flesh and bones assembled with anger Are you satisfied of the monster that you brought to life? You can’t prevent me from growing I can, I will ruin the living All men will see their end coming And I will be the last one standing I can – I can I will – I will There’s nothing that I can’t achieve Through sheer will the world I live in will belong to me I can – I can I will – I will There’s nothing that I can’t achieve Through sheer will the world I live in will belong to me Like the shadows spread when the day comes to an end My empire will expand, all will fall under my command Same mistakes, same consequences In every epoch and every place, someone like me will rise You can’t prevent me from growing I can, I will ruin the living All men will see their end coming I will be the last one standing You can’t prevent me from growing I can, I will ruin the living All men will see their end coming I will be the last one standing
