I Will Prevail

A child believes the best in you And that belief always makes the darkest lies seem almost true A sleight of hand This almost truth can beguile the purest youth to Wonderland Now every piece is in place And all that's left to erase Before I take over all the power Is every trace of dear Alice and the queen She's been a thorn in my side And she can run, but can't hide We're fast approaching the witching hour And settling scores is my routine Oh, well, all's well ends well Farewell, Alice Too late! Checkmate is your fate It's over! I come alive (ah) When you're afraid (oh) I write the ending of your tragic fairy tale I will survive and you will fade A withered flower, small and frail While I prevail This time it's gonna be me The last thing that you'll ever see An Armageddon of my devicing (oh) There's no way you can escape from what I do (oh-oh) So leave you half-hearted soul For me to bully and rule A sly magician of compromising (oh) To conjure all that is false until it's true Poor Jack, Blackjack, sad sack Fallen hero (ah) Bad news! You lose, light the fuse It's over! (Ah) you die, I thrive (oh) And so it goes I am the ending of your tragic fairy tale I will survive, and heaven knows There is no way that I can fail I will prevail!
