Lyrics
hey, cruel world...
you don't have what it takes
we don't need your faith.
we've got fucking fate.
hey, cruel world...
you don't have what it takes
we don't need your faith.
we've got fucking fate.
Creator
Preserver
Destroyer
Ask which one I am.
There's no drugged-out devils or
square-halo angels
walking among us.
I am among no one
I am among no one
I am among no one
no one
hey, cruel world...
you don't have what it takes
we don't need your faith.
we've got fucking fate.

when there are no,
no edges
hey, cruel world...
you don't have what it takes
we don't need your faith.
we've got fucking fate.
