W.a.s.p. - The Great Misconceptions Of Me (Live Donington '92) lyrics

Welcome to the show the great finale's finally here I thank you for coming into my theatre of fear Welcome to the show, you're all witnesses you see A privileged invitation to the last rights of me Remember me? You can't save me Mama you never needed me No crimson king, look in my eye, you'll see Mama I'm lonely, it's only me, only me I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be The crimson idol of a million I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be The crimson idol of a million eyes, of a million I am the prisoner of the paradise I dreamed The idol of a million lonely faces look at me Behind the mask of sorrow, four doors of doom behind my eyes I've got their footprints all across my crimson mind Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy Long live, long live There is no love, to shelter me Only love, love set me free No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago And remember me when it comes your time to choose Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy Long live, long live There is no love, to shelter me Only love, love set me free No love, to shelter me, only love, love set me free I was the warrior, with an anthem in my soul The idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago And remember me when it comes your time to choose Be careful what you wish for, it might just come true Red, crimson red, am I the invisible boy The strap on my back Red, crimson red, no I was never to be Only one crimson son, no it never was me Living in the limelight little did I know I was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul It was all I ever wanted, everything I dreamed But the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream With these six-strings, I make a noose To take my life, it's time to choose The headlines read of my suicide, of my suicide Oh sweet silence, where is the sting I am no idol, no crimson king I'm the imposter, the world has seen My father was the idol, it was never me I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be The crimson idol of a million I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be The crimson idol of a million eyes No love, to shelter me, only love Love set me free No love, to shelter me, only love Love set me free
