Nevermore (song)/Lyrics

[Intro] '''(Nevermore) (Nevermore)''' ''Will I be afraid Nor will I run away'' It's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score You won the battle you won't win the war '''Not now and Nevermore'''

[Verse 1] ''You talked of subjugation I answered your violent plea Youth and infatuation Kept me too blind to see'' You think you're someone's hero You're hiding more than your eyes I challenge your weak manifesto The goal of a savior is not to be lionized

[Pre-Chorus 1] ''Back when it started I thought that justice was your goal'' Then in the darkness ''You lost your mind I lost my soul'' That's in the past and I won't be controlled

[Chorus] Nevermore Nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head Nevermore Nevermore Will I be afraid Nor will I run away It's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score You won the battle you won't win the war '''Not now and Nevermore'''

[Verse 2] You had me down, defeated A state that I can't allow It's over, my fear's retreated I'm more like an army now ''You offered hope, salvation Gave me a place to be But your vision of liberation Was all about you It would never apply to me''

[Pre-Chorus 2] I won't stay a martyr It's my turn to take back what you stole And this time I'm smarter ''I made a vow I'm not alone Not dying now we're protecting our own''

[Chorus] Nevermore ''Nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head'' Nevermore Nevermore Will I be afraid Nor will I run away It's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score You won the battle you won't win the war Not now and Nevermore

[Bridge] ''There's no cause to celebrate Another soul consumed by hate and spite Another destroyed life'' There's no pleasure, there's no joy It's just a story of a boy who lost his way Into shadows strayed He'll see the light of day

[Chorus] Nevermore Nevermore You'll torture my heart and my head Nevermore Nevermore Will I be afraid Nor will I run away It's behind me Freedom is finally here You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score You won the battle you won't win the war '''Not now and Nevermore'''
