Текст песни W.A.S.P. - The Great Misconceptions Of Me (The Best Of The Best 2007)

Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
I thank you for coming into my theater of fear
Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see
A privileged invitation to the last rites of me

Remember me, you can't save me
Mama, you never needed me
No crimson king, look in my eyes and you'll see
Mama, I'm lonely, it's only me, it's only me

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million

I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed
The idol of a million lonely faces look at me
Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes
I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind

Long live, long live
Long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live

There is no love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
I was the warrior with an anthem in my soul
The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
And remember me when it comes your time to choose
Ahh, careful what you wish for, it might come true

Long live, long live
Long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live

There is no love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free

Red, crimson red
Am I the invisible boy?
The straps on my back
Ahh

Red, crimson red
No, I was never to be
Only one crimson son
No, it never was me

Living in the limelight, little did I know
I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed
But the dream became my nightmare, no one could hear me scream
With these six strings, I make a noose
To take my life, it's time to choose
The headlines read of my demise
My suicide
My suicide

Oh sweet silence, where is the sting
I am no idol, no crimson king
I'm the imposter, the world has seen
My father was the idol, it was never me

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
The crimson idol of a million eyes

No love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
No love to shelter me
Only love, love set me free
