A vengeful angel flies around the sun

Dripping his wax down on those that watch

The feathers fall next, they're dancing down

Such a graceful decent, so unlike his own

Crashing down to earth

Destruction in his wake he caused

There I go again, trying to narrate

So I could hide my role

Have to own up, have to concede

They used me like you

We all have our jobs, markers of our fate

That dictate our place

But now I know it's not his fault

How could I hold him responsible?

So wrought by what I've done

I wouldn't wish it on anyone

So what of the man with the wooden god?

Never did him good

But never steered him wrong

Can't claim the same

The blood on my hands

Marks my guilt, exposes my crimes

I've played with lives

Like the Gods of old

But I'm no God

I'm just a fool

The leader of the mob

King of the swayed, culpable

The moms and dads who turned to me

Now clutch their torches at my door

Try to alleviate the burden of my guilt

I never really had agency

I'm just a false prophet, just a heretic

Powerless without your belief

But now I know it's not his fault

How could I hold him responsible?

So wrought by what I've done

I wouldn't wish it on anyone

A young couple meets and falls in love

And live so happily ever after, it's a platitude

But it's a lie, affections unrequited

The presence of someone else will complicate

The best laid plans of invertebrates made evil by love

But now I know it's not his fault

How could I hold him responsible?

So wrought by what I've done

I wouldn't wish it on anyone

Trapped inside a frame not of my design

Simply follow the story and remember the lines

I had no choice, this is how I was cast

This is how I was cast, I had no choice

Trapped inside a frame, not of my design

Follow what is destined and tow the line

There is no escape, that's why they call it fate. [x4]
