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

The Dead Will Arise (Metalcore)

I've done more than one thing wrong

in the time that I have lived

but what's done is done, the past can not be changed

I've said that I am pained, and I live by what I have said

nothing has changed much at all, though now I can say

now I can say I've grown in strength

a bitter soul with love stitched across my heart

bleeding black, I've died in vain

living again, I'll take back what's mine

you stole my life, and now I believe it's time

this is my time to shine, I'll bury you

six feet underground, barely breathing at all

you're locked away, memories faded away

washed ashore, everything's gone awry

I lost control, you took my life away

all the days I spent alone in a hole

now I must be strong, I've buried you

you're nothing more than a memory of pain

I hope you died when I left you for dead

no rescue will come, you're on your own

self-destruction is all you know, your life is shit, you're out of control

on a crash course and unable to move

you're in the clear for a painful death

as the memories fade away, so does the blackness inside your hollow heart

sucking the life right out of you

you always lied, your evil ways, a warning unheard

you said you loved me, but you tried to kill me

hopefully you'll die when the memories fade away

you have no heart, it's a blackened hole

cold as stone, a massacre in the works

are you a sadist or do you think you're great

despise runs wild, all around the soulless black heart

you won't bring me down again,

I've risen up before, nothing can bring me down again

you are loved by all the ones you've seen

a sight like you, instantly in love

it's a trap, I swear, it's a trap, I know

you've never loved at all, you'll always be alone

these scars remind me of our relationship of lies

they give me strength, I'll carry on with a burden at heart

I've said I've won the war, but a war not easily won

if it helps at all, I'll say this only once

you put up a great fight, but now make way for the king

I've taken over, my life is mine, you will never have my heart again
