lyrics
Back in this place I knew so well
The town where hopes and dreams dispell
Filled with the memories of your spell
I'm back to raise the ones who fell
If I start to close my eyes
I can sense your trail of lies
I've managed to escape it twice
How can I show this town the light?
I wish they could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish they could understand
I wish they could understand
Is that your army up ahead?
At this point all I see is red
The blood is rushing to my head
Those people might as well be dead
If I only now see the truth
There's no way that they know it too
But I am here to help them through
And let them live their lives anew
I wish they could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish they could understand
I wish they could understand
And then I see you once again
You think I'm here to make amends
But I'm just here to see the end
Of your attempt to rule this land
Now you try accusing me
Of creating this cacophony
You're claiming that it's World War III
I just want these people free
I wish you could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish you could understand
I wish you could understand
And there you are alone once more
Without the subjects you abhorred
It's not my fault you weren't adored
By the subjects you heartlessly stole
And now my job here's finally done
Though the battle's not quite won
Did what I could for everyone
Finally the mutiny's begun
I wish you could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish you could understand
I wish you could understand
The town where hopes and dreams dispell
Filled with the memories of your spell
I'm back to raise the ones who fell
If I start to close my eyes
I can sense your trail of lies
I've managed to escape it twice
How can I show this town the light?
I wish they could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish they could understand
I wish they could understand
Is that your army up ahead?
At this point all I see is red
The blood is rushing to my head
Those people might as well be dead
If I only now see the truth
There's no way that they know it too
But I am here to help them through
And let them live their lives anew
I wish they could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish they could understand
I wish they could understand
And then I see you once again
You think I'm here to make amends
But I'm just here to see the end
Of your attempt to rule this land
Now you try accusing me
Of creating this cacophony
You're claiming that it's World War III
I just want these people free
I wish you could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand

I wish you could understand
And there you are alone once more
Without the subjects you abhorred
It's not my fault you weren't adored

And now my job here's finally done

Finally the mutiny's begun
I wish you could understand
There's no point to this futile plan
But I have come to make a stand
For everyone led through this land
I wish you could understand
I wish you could understand
