Nocturnal Rites - New World Messiah

They taught him right and what to believe
How to live by the rules
They all restrained his hungry heart,
With time he would conceive
Walked the path of a righteous man
Taught him how to belong
A winding road, and now it seems
No, the world is on my shoulders
Im the one against the world
The one they led astray
But I'll know till my dying day
Im the only one against the world
Never stray from our way of life
Vent your anger within
Betrayal, it makes a bitter man
The truth cuts like knifes
Now look at him and what he's become
He still kneels for them all
A broken pawn, about to fall
No, the world is on my shoulders
Im the one against the world
The one they led astray
But I'll know till my dying day
Im the only one against the world
There he stands alone again
Watch his world become unreal
Forever astray
No, the world is on my shoulders
Im the one against the world
The one they led astray
But I'll know till my dying day
Im the only one against the world
Against the world
The world
