The Great Misconceptions Of Me Lyrics - The Crimson Idol - W.a.s.p.

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 

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
