Sweet child of mine, You're S-P-E-C-I-A-L Nobody's on your level This freedom trail you're walking is A long road to your apocalypse When the bomb went off We went out with a bang And one gunshot was the sound of our fate How long I've waited Been countin' the days Now open the vault Dig me out of my grave I'll walk through the fire Cuz I welcome to pain I'm the sole survivor Pull my power armor back out of its case I'll go off like a nuke Fall out of my way I'm showered with vengeance Clouded with rage I'm bound to wander around with no aim No home to be found To the ground it was razed Survival's a violent lesson The bible that I will live by with my weapon No time for confessions In fire, I'm cleansing My Sins, I'll find my redemption I'm not one to live with regret Whatever the cost, fulfillin' my debt The love that I lost, remiss to forget But I'm takin' off, so gimme some jet I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire Can't help it if I tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse I found home in my apocalypse If I wake to find apocalypse Then I'll make it my apocalypse Just like a vagabond, I'll never settle A roof on my head and a bed are far from essential I know from the start, no one's on my level I'll never forget when they said that I was S-P-E-C-I-A-L Cuz my love's like radiation Come feel this warmth of mine These arms are yours so take them Make them your wings and fly Star-spangled America Full of radiant places Not the land of the free Where the home of the slave is I pray that my children Get more than the world I was raised in I know things ain't the same But war never changes I don't wanna set the world on fire Just wanna start a flame in your heart I don't wanna set the world on fire Can't help it if I tear it apart Welcome to my apocalypse I found home in my apocalypse If I wake to find apocalypse Then I'll make it my apocalypse
