Through the years karma served you right Making life for you an endless fight Leaving me behind to be the man I had to be And if hell is the place we meet again I'll open my eyes to everything you tried to make me hate I won't turn my head and look the other way I accept my fate, embrace every day Every single day I'm just a man they made a martyr to lead a generation You can pick me apart with your lies and accusations So if you try to read between the lines you might see Being above all of the influence Has always set me free We are the sons you forced to be men We are the sons of straight edge No matter how much you've changed You still gotta pay for the things you've done I'm just a man they made a martyr to lead a generation You can pick me apart with your lies and accusations So if you try to read between the lines you might see Being above all of the influence Has always set me free You were the ocean that was supposed to engulf me But you became the tidal wave leaving me to drown at sea
