They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

For trying to change the system from within

First we take Manhattan then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
我向往着天堂这唯一的真理
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
我听命于自己皮肤上的胎记
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

But now you're worried that I just might win
