For years I have waited and watched from the sides While others were given their dues Overlooked and forgotten My words cast aside I did what I needed to do As a child I learned that the world can be cruel A game to which there are no rules Thieves are forgiven and justice is blind But this time the justice is mine The past is a story It tells us all who we are It robs us of glory And leaves us with nothing but scars All I ever wanted Was a life that was rightfully mine To never play second in line Time to thrive not just survive All I ever needed Was a moment to even the odds With power to rebel the gods The stars aligned to my design It's all I ever wanted All of my life I have tried to be heard But men only hear what they fear Fate wasn't given, it's something I took Now they have fear of the hook There was always a standard to which I was held A fairness to which I was sworn But life took a turn and the hard way I learned Every rose has its thorn Casted to the outside Watching as others delight A thirst on the inside For darkness to conquer the light All I ever wanted Was my time living life in the sun When those fools all regret what they've done to me They'll see that I'm not through All I ever needed Was a moment to conquer my fate To never be second to great A world that's prime and mine to take It's all I ever wanted Days turn to hours and hours to years Hope becomes twisted and rooted in fear Balance and order are cast to the side Vengeance for justice that I've been denied All I ever wanted Was a chance to even the score Why settle for less when there's more? To conquer all that came before All I ever needed Was a slip in the balance of time To regain what's rightfully mine To change the end and start again It's all I ever wanted
