Nevermore - Jeff Williams, Adrienne Cowan

Will I be afraid

Nor will I run away

It’s behind me

Freedom is finally here

You may have taken the lead

But I’ll even the score

You won the battle

You won’t win the war

Not now and nevermore

You talked of subjugation

I answered your violent plea

Youth and infatuation

Kept me too blind to see

You think you’re someone’s hero

You’re hiding more than your eyes

I challenge your weak manifesto

The goal of a savior is not to be lionized

Back when it started

I thought that justice was your goal

Then in the darkness

You lost your mind, I lost my soul

That’s in the past and I won’t be controlled

Nevermore, nevermore

You’ll torture my heart and my head

Nevermore, nevermore

Will I be afraid

Nor will I run away

It’s behind me

Freedom is finally here

You may have taken the lead

But I’ll even the score

You won the battle

You won’t win the war

Not now and nevermore

You had me down, defeated

A state that I can’t allow

It’s over, my fear’s retreated

I’m more like an army now

You offered hope, salvation

Gave me a place to be

But your vision of liberation

Was all about you, it would never apply to me

I won’t stay a martyr

It’s my turn to take back what you stole

And this time I’m smarter

I made a vow, I’m not alone

Not dying now, we’re protecting our own

Nevermore, nevermore

You’ll torture my heart and my head

Nevermore, nevermore

Will I be afraid

Nor will I run away

It’s behind me

Freedom is finally here

You may have taken the lead

But I’ll even the score

You won the battle

You won’t win the war

Not now and nevermore

There’s no cause to celebrate

Another soul consumed by hate and spite

Another destroyed life

There’s no pleasure, there’s no joy

It’s just a story of a boy who lost his way

Into shadows strayed

He’ll see the light of day

Nevermore, nevermore

You’ll torture my heart and my head

Nevermore, nevermore

Will I be afraid

Nor will I run away

It’s behind me

Freedom is finally here

You may have taken the lead

But I’ll even the score

You won the battle

You won’t win the war

Not now and nevermore
