Greater Good [Alternative Rock]

Heaven's light was shining

brightly in the day

and now the night is coming, the light is fading slowly

the corpses all around me, they make me feel so dead

am I alive or have I died, for this I can't be sure

I see the light of Heaven, and there's the depths of Hell

Satan calls for me, God has shunned me out

a purpose in my life was to make the world a better place

this is my reward, now I'm going down to Hell

I quite believe I've died, and now I've got to rot

six feet underground, nobody else around

where are my friends and family, have they all gone as well

yeah I had the power to make a difference

I used that power well, for the greater good, and never a selfish thought

though I'll admit at once I wanted it all

I did my best to save them all

deep down inside maybe I was a cruel person

but aren't we all bitter in the end

most of my life I tried to shine a light

giving hope to the broken souls, wandering lost at sea

yeah here I am, I suppose I'm dead, I suppose I'll suffer

but do I regret my life at all, perhaps some, but never the good I've done to all

I know I'm not alone, I've shed a light upon

the dying souls with little to no hope

does anyone see what I've done here on earth

does anyone care how hard I've tried, the will to survive

striving for more, saving the dead

if given the chance again, well hell I'd take it for sure

the power to change it all, it lies within our souls

spend your life as a pawn in a game of Death, that's your choice not mine

I say you should try and take a stand

you'll never know if you never try

it would seem to me that all I've done what I can

though I know there's more, someday it will be done

I'll start today, tomorrow I could die again

so if given the chance, I'd do it all again

I'd continue my work, make the world a better place

feed the starving, give money to the poor

give shoes to those who are in need of clothes,

maybe even donate my organs for those who are in need

I'd do anything to help those in need,

I did everything I could, I know in my heart that's true

so why is it I'm going down to Hell

I may never know, but I know I've sinned more than once

maybe my sins are stronger than the good I've done

though I've done good more so than sin

maybe a sin is the same as a thousand good deeds

I may never know, but I did what I could
