[Verse 1]
Into a shining dawn
To fight another day
The world keeps fighting on
And I see black and grey
Before the night falls
I'm gonna take flight
And then I'm gonna find my way

Into the fading dawn
I'll beat all the odds
The world keeps fighting on
So I scream to the sky
Damn the gods

[Chorus]
Soar through the sky
On cherubim wings
They look at me
Think they know everything
All alone but now I'm free
You can't buy my loyalty
If this is my worst you see

[Post-Chorus]
Welcome to the darker side of me
The darker side of me
[Verse 2]
Two, three, four!
Into a shining dawn
See the darkness of man
I'll never be a pawn
To a fickle lord's plans
You start the attacks
Then we pick up your slack
And we'll never be back where we began

Into the fading dawn
Or so it would seem
You'll never get along
Goodbye, peaceful dreams
Damn your schemes!

[Chorus]
Soar through the sky
On cherubim wings
They look at me
Think they know everything
All alone, but now I'm free
You can't buy my loyalty
If this is my worst you see

[Post-Chorus]
Welcome to the darker side of me
The darker side of me
[Verse 3]
Into a shining dawn
Seeing only the night
Forced to prepare for
The next target to fight
Always they'll lie
Sling their mud, justify
Try to write history
Say they're right

Into the fading dawn
Light will fall from the skies
Always looking for
More souls to terrorize
Damn your lies!

[Chorus]
Soar through the sky
On cherubim wings
They look at me
Think they know everything
All alone, but now I'm free
You can't buy my loyalty
If this is my worst you see
What's so wrong with being me?
No time to get teary-eyed
Damn your wrath and damn your pride
At least I get to decide
They deserve a darker side
[Post-Chorus]
Welcome to the darker side of me

[Outro]
Two, three, four!
Before the night falls
I'm gonna take flight
And then I'm gonna find my way

Soar through the sky
On cherubim wings
They look at me
Think they know everything
All alone, but now I'm free
You can't buy my loyalty
If this is my worst you see
What's so wrong with being me?

Welcome to the darker side of me
