Told myself I was leaving Had no love left to give I was angry from screaming At a man who would not live ♪ These are things beyond my power Things that I can't control Who can blame my surrender? Who can tell me I'm wrong? ♪ So I sailed to the far side With my white flag up against the waves When I saw that I was losing I admit I was scared and ran away ♪ This is life on the dark side Of the sword and the flame And my clenched fists are bleeding From a fight I can't sustain As I fled from my outpost As I took on the blame All the ground I surrendered All my friends have reclaimed ♪ And they came with their arms full Of the good things that I had thrown away And I watched as their candles Turned the night that was round us into day ♪ You have built up the dark side Buried men down deep beneath their shame But the heel that you strike now Will return to trample on your face We have smashed down the doors now And the light floods in upon your face All your prisoners are laughing And your former slaves are giving thanks ♪ Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
