Sound the bugle now, play it just for me
As the seasons change remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on, I can't even start
I've got nothing left, just an empty heart

I'm a soldier: wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me, lead me away...
Or leave me lying here

Sound the bugle now. Tell them I don't care
There's not a road I know that leads to anywhere
Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark
Lay right down. Decide not to go on

Then from on high somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls, "Remember who you are.
If you lose yourself your courage soon will follow.
So be strong tonight. Remember who you are."

You're a soldier now fighting in a battle
To be free once more.
Yeah, that's worth fighting for

Don't pretend
I think you know
I'm damn precious
And, hell yeah
I'm the motherfuckin' princess

So come over here
And tell me what I wanna hear
Better yet, make your girlfriend disappear
I don't wanna hear you say her name ever again (and again and again)

Cause she's like so, whatever
You could do so much better
I think we should get together now
(And that's what everyone's talkin' about)

Just out of reach of this fire
I was not aware of this nightmare
But when I start to see those eyes
Begging for help, begging for hope
I just need to open my eyes now
To try to change and to search how
To be someone among others
I've got to try

Stay strong, keep moving, can't let the darkness blind us
Carry on, we'll be the ones that pull the stars down to us

Five nights left to find you
One last thing to tend to
You'll fear what I can do
But you'll never run
Ghosts warn of my actions
But I'm the main attraction
You'll bring my satisfaction
Our little horror story's just begun

These metal gears and parts
Contain my purple heart
They had their sweet revenge
And brought me to an end
Now I'm the monster here
I'll make you disappear
One last show to put on
After tonight you're gone

I gotta find myself, gonna find it now
I gotta be a man, I gotta find him now
I gotta be a man, I gotta be the man
They wanna take me down, wanna see me crawl
I gotta be a man, I gotta find him now
I gotta be a man, I gotta be the man
I gotta find myself, gonna find it now
I gotta be a man, I gotta find him now
I gotta be a man, I gotta be the man

From the window of his life, he can see his home
As it passes by he feels a pain that no one knows
Past every better judgment, he packs his things to run away
Like an ocean distance is a beast that can’t be tamed

Whoa, whoa, ooh
He left you behind

Now the young man roams the globe
Searching for the very thing he left at home
He searched far and wide, under every stone
The more he walked the more he was alone
