But I thought it
The right thing to do

I thought it would mean something
More than pointless sacrifice

I thought it would free
Those who thought they knew

I thought it was the answer
To the question never asked

I thought it was what they wanted
Those screaming fiends of mine

I thought it was the solution
A gift to all my friends

I thought it would clear the memory
Of all that had been me

I thought it would be simple
Though I didn't pause to think

I can't remember why
I thought I had to die

How was I to know
It's all done with mirrors?
