The path of hate is a dangerous track
You take one step and it's hard to turn back
It pulls you along,
and though it seems wrong it feels right
Don't you see this path you're on leaves a permanent mark
It feels good at first, then it slowly turns dark
With each passing day
you're further astray from the light

Suddenly, you lose your way and lose the thread
Lose your cool, then lose your head
Every loss is harder to excuse
Then you'll see you'll lose your faith and lose your soul
'till you lose complete control
And realize there's nothing left to lose
Nothing left to lose

The path I'm on is a path paved in black
I'm taking that road and I'm not looking back
Each twist and each turn
leads straight where I'm yearning to go
Yes, it's true, my path is dark but I see where it ends
My rivals will fall as my power ascends
Despise me, that's fine
I'm taking what's mine even so

Not like you, you lost your nerve, you lost the game
But you and I, we're not the same
I'm not lost, this fate was mine to choose
So I chose to lose my doubts and lose my chains
Lose each weakness that remains
Now that I have nothing left to lose
Nothing left to lose
