I remain the victim
Of this sorry state
This path I've chosen
Will be the death of me

Darkness rising
The devil is near

For better or for worse (for better or for worse)
Come what may (come what may)
I can't live one more day (I can't live one more day)
At the mercy of my own dismay (at the mercy of my own dismay)

Uncover the masque
Into the black
As God is my witness
No hope for the hopeless

Shrouded in darkness
The pain that is endless
In our affliction
This is a prison
This is a prison

It's the undertow coming back for me
It's the undertow coming back for me

For better or for worse (for better or for worse)
Come what may (come what may)
I can't live one more day (I can't live one more day)
At the mercy of my own dismay (at the mercy of my own dismay)
For better or for worse (woah-oh)
Come what may (hey-ya)
I can't live one more day
At the mercy of my own dismay (at the mercy of my own dismay)

For better or for worse
Come what may
I can't live one more day
At the mercy of my own dismay
