Beginning of a Different Story

Have i failed them all?
Have I failed my masters?
Have i failed myself?
Have i failed the world itself?
Or have i merely lost a battle?
Is this not the end?
Is this just another beginning
Of a different story?
One where I am doomed to lose.

Or am I just a fool for thinking,
I could win the situation,
I think I've lost it all,
And down I will fall,
They fly on higher,
Looking for another master,
Is this mask of mine,
Too thin?

I have lost myself,
Through the battles and it all
I have lost countless friends,
And one of them i cannot mend

No matter what I do, it will never be enough to make up for what I've done.
Is this my payback,
My vengeance?
I am a lost wanderer,
Going on endlessly,
Watching the blue sky fade to night,
And no matter how much I fight,
It'll never be enough for what happened that fateful day.

Has the darkness already won the light,
Have we all lost the fight?
Will I ever see them again?
Will I, oh, wil li, will i?
Or am I a fool for thinking,
I could win the situation,
I think ive lost it all,
And down I will fall,
They fly on higher,
Looking for another master,
Is this mask of mine,
Too thin?

Have they all seen through my facade, my act,
My everything?
I will never forget that day,
When, and to this day I pray,
That one day, one day
It’ll be repaid,
But no matter what I do, it will never be enough to make up for what I’ve done.
Is this my payback?
My vengeance?
I am a lost wanderer,
Going on endlessly,
Watching the blue sky fade to night,
And no matter how much I fight,
It’ll never be enough for what happened that fateful day.
(spoken)
I have lost myself,
 through the battles and it all,
I have lost countless friends,
And one of them…
 I cannot mend.
