Denial

Here comes fate Adorned in his robes They kneel before him Yet he's no king If going against him is forfeiting my future I'll write my own damned script I hear them say, They'll take your head for this But I don't want to die Stubborn as I am I'll take this life and I'll keep it close How do I right these wrongs I've washed my hands in the river I've cleaned my soul in the sky I am a part of this world And I don't want to die I didn't think it would've ended like this So here I stand with clenched fists I've washed my hands in the river I've cleaned my soul in the sky I am a part of this world And I don't want to die I didn't think it would've ended like this So here I stand with clenched fists I hear my brother say I can make this right He says I can avoid this fight Warnings I never thought I'd need Words I now must heed My throat tightens as I learn what he knows I'm choking on regret And it shows and it shows And it shows I'm choking on regret I've washed my hands in the river I've cleaned my soul in the sky I am a part of this world And I don't want to die I didn't think it would've ended like this So here I stand with clenched fists I've washed my hands in the river I've cleaned my soul in the sky I am a part of this world And I don't want to die I didn't think it would've ended like this So here I stand with clenched fists
