Worth the Toll Lyrics

I've walked the path less travelled, 'neath a blood-red sky

To all, I'm just the villain, though they never ask me why

If they knew the reasons, they'd walk this road too

I don't want to see innocence fade, it's true

In the silence, when the chaos fades away

I hear a voice within, questioning the price I pay

Is this the fate I sought, or just a throne to call my own

Am I just a puppet, to the plans I've always known

Am I a hero in disguise, or the villain in my mind

Have I lost myself within these ties that bind

The blood upon my hands, the darkness in my soul

Is this the man I've become? Is the end worth the toll? Is the end worth the toll

It's worth the toll

I've betrayed and I've deceived, for this crown of fear

Every step a nightmare, haunted by acts so severe

Faces of the fallen, they call out my name

In the cold reflection, I feel a burning shame

In the quiet, as my heart begins to wane

I see the shadows and feel the suppressed pain

Is the power I craved worth these chains upon my heart

Have I been leading, or tearing lives apart

Am I a hero in disguise, or the villain in my mind

Have I lost myself within these ties that bind

The blood upon my hands, the darkness in my soul

Is this the man I've become? Is the end worth the toll? Is the end worth the toll

It's worth the toll

In the stillness, when the night is almost gone

I face the dawn alone, wondering what I've done

Can I change my path, redeem what I have lost

Or will I forever be a king at such a cost

Am I a hero in disguise, or the villain in my mind

Have I lost myself within these ties that bind

The blood upon my hands, the darkness in my soul

Is this the man I've become? Is the end worth the toll? Is the end worth the toll

It's worth the toll

In the shadows of the night, where my secrets lie

I question who I am, beneath a blood-red sky

Is there redemption, or am I doomed to fall

A villain or a hero, only history will recall
