The Great Misconceptions of Me

The Great Misconceptions Of Me - W.A.S.P.

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, 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

Be 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

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

Yeah, suicide, of my suicide

Oh, sweet silence, where is the sting

I am no idol, no crimson king

I'm the impostor, 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

No, 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
