lyrics

Oh my centurion what have you seen
In the depths of my kingdom that you can't tell me?
I have followed you for all my life, have you lost your way?
Maybe today just isn't your day.
But as long as I remember I've been running from him.
Maybe not tonight.

One day I will find the answers and then I'll be free from myself
You see I'll never touch that trigger, so you must shoot me yourself.
I'll dedicate a song to you...

Oh my centurion what have you found
In the depths of my kingdom that I can't understand?
I wish I'd found a purpose instead of living a dream
Because when I look in that memory I am not what I see.
So please take all my lovers, put a gun to their heads
Because then I'll grab the killer and he'll shoot me instead.
I know I wish I was a saviour and I won't let you die.
If true love exists I'll fight.

One day I will find the answers and then I'll be invincible.
You see I'm not suicidal but I'm ready to die.
I'll show my friends I love them, then leave this world with no goodbyes
No I'm not suicidal but I wish I were dead
As this kingdom grows colder in my head!

Oh my centurion what have you done in the depths of my kingdom (have you had fun)?
