Oblivion
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I hear you, but I'm not afraid of you
I'm not afraid of you
Father, where's my gun?
Now that the war has begun
Oh let me go it alone
I need no one
I said I need no one
But oh God now here it comes and it's too dark to aim this gun
And now faster, faster, faster
once again I'm on the run
And I hear you say,
"Oh my stubborn son, don't you just say you need no one?
But don't you see danger, danger, danger, headed to oblivion?"
I followed the hunt, far as I could
Through a dozen weathers
Petrified wood
And I took one shot, in the dark
Back fired the bullet, silver to heart
And oh God now here it comes and it's too dark to aim this gun
Now faster, faster, faster
Once again I'm on the run
And I hear you say,
"Oh my stubborn son, I know that you said you need no one
But don't you see danger, danger, danger, headed to oblivion?"
Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion, oblivion
Wait a second, have you come so far, for it to end like this?
No
This is the challenge.
I dare you, to take a hold of that darkness from deep down within you
It's dark
Get back up. What are you so afraid of?
Wait
Get back up
Okay
Show your face, face to me
Show your face, face to me
Be you my friend or enemy
Show your face
Face to me
I do not fear oblivion
I do not fear oblivion
Said I do not fear oblivion
Oblivion, oblivion, oblivion
Father, where is my gun?
I need no one
I need no one
I need no one
