Worth the Toll

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
