This was the first filk Fi and I (Steve Kilbane) did at Redemption '01. Fi sang beautifully as ever, and I completely butchered the first two verses. Oh well.
Today
Is gonna be the day
We're fin'lly gonna take Control.
We'll start
By tearing out its heart
And leaving it without a soul
I don't believe that anybody
Has as good a chance
As we have now
Last chance
To choose another dance
Before the piper must be paid.
I know
It's only one blow
But with it many will be saved
I don't believe that anybody
Has as good a chance
As we have now
And I have brought you closer than I told you
If you leave there's no way I can hold you
There are many people who would like to be as free
But they don't know how
But maybe
You're gonna be the ones that aid me
And after all
You think I'm wonderful
(pause, drums)
Today
Was gonna be the day
I was gonna prove I was right
Instead
(I) Left you lying dead
Looking out of lifeless eyes
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About it now
And all the time I thought the risk was worth it
If anyone, I'm the one deserves it
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But it's too late now
But maybe
You wouldn't be the one to blame me
After all
You were so gentle
But maybe
You wouldn't be the one to blame me
And through it all
I was such a fool
