I hold the world for ransom
Within my brain lies great cataclysm
For universes lie hidden in the brain cells
And a single mind could burn this universe out.
I hear your wretched minds screaming non-stop
And if you don't shut up then the bombs will drop
Look me in the eyes
As my mind sets the world on fire
Burning in my heart is an everlasting funeral pyre
Your ignorance and hatred towards me
just feed the flames
You can't hurt me anymore,
not one of you, I know your games
Call me a freak
Call me a liar
And I will laugh when your world is on fire.
I hold the world for ransom- leave me alone or die
I hold the world for ransom- leave me alone I cry
I hold the world for ransom- leave me alone or die
I hold the world for ransom.
