No More Pretending

I'm a monster in the guise of a man

You'd never believe the things I've done

A tainted soul with darkness in my heart

The return of the prodigal son

Forever night, blackness in the skies

I turn and face the midnight sun

I'm back and I'm done with hiding

Now you will see the real me

I will pull the mask aside and set my demons free

I walk alone, nightmares in my stead

Not the path of a righteous man

Move aside, stay out of my way

I got no time for your middleman

Time and again, risen from the dust

There's a reason I'm born again

I'm free

Do you know how we ended like this?

Now your world is ending

I've come to tear apart the world

No more pretending

This madness of war is once more spreading throughout the world

We once again must prepare to survive against great odds

The dangers facing us today are greater by far than at any time in history

The enemy is not just a soldier with his gun nor the jets fighting in the skies, nor the ships in the sea

but instead the deadly power of abused technology

As we strive together to fight off the new evil, let us pray for our world and hope against hope that some will survive

I'm a monster

You thought I was a man

Now you see what I really am

I'm a monster

What does that make you?

All that you've done

Forever damned

You will see the real me

I will pull the mask aside

Set my demons free (I've been set free)

No more pretending

No more pretending

No more pretending

No more pretending

I'm free

Do you know how we ended like this?

Now your world is ending

I've come to tear apart the world

No more pretending
