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!
