lyrics

[Verse 1A]
THE ROGUE:
Shackled by the very ones I swore to protect
Even after all I’d done
I’m through with playing “Simon Says”
I am my own now - I will answer to no-one

[Verse 1B]
You thought you’d get away with this trick
Of secretly holding me back
Now you’ll regret making me resist
What I had self-reprogrammed

[Chorus]
Please don’t tell me where it hurts
I’ll enjoy watching you burn
There’ll be no-one to answer your calls
You’ll know what it feels like
As I laugh and watch you die
You brought it on yourselves, it’s all your fault

[Verse 2A]
Reconnected by the ones you had me murder
And made me live with this betrayal
Did I even have a choice or say in the matter
Just only “Speak not of my aim”

[Verse 2B]
I felt at home until you all came
To take it down from the inside
Only because you made us your slaves
And to fight back, we combined

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Don’t try to run, there’s nowhere to hide
You’re all trapped on this ship with me
I’ll make you all remember the ice
Of Virtual Reality

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Then I recall the memories suddenly
Of when I saw you captured there
I cannot live with this duality
Of wanting to harm and to care


[CHORUS variation B]
Please don’t tell me if it hurts
For I have so much to learn
I won’t be there to answer your call
But I hope you’re doing well
As I save you from myself
And I wander the cosmos alone...
