“Choice”, another RWBY fan song I made.
.
Lyrics:
.
I was born into nothing, named for the ash from whence I came
Sold into servitude of those who loved to bring me pain
Then you came and promised freedom, said you’d teach me to be strong
I never once suspected you’d be stringing me along
Enduring days of torture for the nights when I’d be free
I was a fool to even trust the hope you gave to me
For when I finally made sure I’d no longer have to run
You took away my chance, and said the pain had just begun....
.
You are the symbol of all that I’ve come to distrust
Your false displays of virtue fill me with disgust
You say you’re here to help, when all you’ve done is hurt
It’s hard to bleach out all those bloodstains from your shirt
You have no other choice....
(I will not be chained!
All of you will die in flame!)
No more in servitude to those who’d want me dead
I’ve found my calling, and I serve my queen instead
You’ve kept your power from me, and I deserve it all
You will regret the day you made me feel so small!
There is no other choice...
I follow my mistress of my own volition, I’d know if I’d been conned
You blindly serve your masters, of whom you’ve grown so fond
I’ll expose all your hypocrisy, your idols I will slay
I’m not like you, a tool for those who’d lead you all astray
In death you will agree — the truth will set you free
Truth is, there’s no one righteous in this hard reality
Someone must rise up to the top, and that someone is me
(All of this must burn!
I refuse to starve!)
Your power and your strength will all be mine to claim
As this world is cleansed in purifying flame
Midnight approaches and you have just yourselves to blame
.
Love is a sham
And anyone who claims to love you has some other plan
You’ll always be betrayed by those who say they’ll set you free
Why should I show mercy, when none was shown to me?
I’m out of time, I’m out of luck, I’m trapped inside this maze
The only escape that I can see is to set it all ablaze
But as it’s all destroyed by flame, the cinders turn to glass
I’m burning up and bleeding out; I can’t escape the past....
