The man with eyes of Gold,
Sees the truth behind the lies,
Finds the darkness in their souls
And lights the way for them to rise.
Awakening their senses,
He helps them clear their thoughts,
Removes their false pretenses,
And all the pain they sought.
In this time of clarity,
They tried to crown him King.
But, along with the popularity,
He gave up everything.
They'd felt he'd let them down,
They all felt so betrayed.
In this broken little town,
They felt their feelings start to fade.
He gave them hopes of happiness,
But now he knew the pain.
All he felt was loneliness,
And heartbreak once again.
He didn't want to lead them all
While he was feeling lost.
He thought that if he let them fall,
Their lives would be the cost.
One night, he made a silent vow,
To not commit the crime,
And so he moved on with the crowd
And faded out with time.
The crime, he thought, was playing God,
And fixing all their wounds.
And now, he felt he was a fraud,
And to hell, he was doomed.
But when time came for him to pass
Into another realm,
Peace, he thought, would never last,
We are so overwhelmed.
