Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Passion that shouts and red with anger

I lost myself through alleys of mystery

I went up and down like a demented train

[Verse 2]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 3]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 4]

Searching for something that make hearts move

I found myself but my best possession

Walked into the shade and threatened to drift away

[Verse 5]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 6]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 7]

Full of myself, I left you behind

As if I could, possessed by Quixote's dream

Went to fight dragons in the land of concrete

[Verse 8]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 9]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 10]

Rolling in pain, discovered what hurts

And tasted hell, infatuated by madness

I danced in flames and drunk in the depth of love

[Verse 11]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 12]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate

[Verse 13]

Don't take it personal

I choose my own fate

I follow love, I follow hate
