I HOLD THE WORLD FOR RANSOM

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.
