Song lyrics

Only when the Fates commiserate, do we get a little taste as unique,
The libertine, know what I mean? Hiroshima on a Sunday,
You had a gift, you were a gift, but there's always a god damn catch,
Blessing and a curse, you made it work, the Universe seems so much smaller.
(Legend) Bastard! (Best friend) Why? Why do the limits have to realign?
(Hero) Martyr! (Mystery) God, he was the best of us!
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
The world will never know another man as amazing as you!
Never be the same, I want the blame to be assigned to the guiltiest one,
It can't be done, because the son was the victim they arrested,
I'm so fuckin' pissed at all of this, you gotta know that you are sorely missed,
Miracles are real, they help you heal, they make you feel... like things will get better.
(Father) Brother! (Scapegoat) Why? Why did we only get this time?
(Fighter) Icon! (Skeptic) God, stop taking the best of us!
I won't let you disappear, I will keep your soul alive... if I can't have you here.
History may have its share of lunatics and stars...
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
The world will never know another man as amazing as you!
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
The world will never know another man as amazing as you!
Skeptic.

Where am I supposed to begin? I'm killing for the Karma again,
Feed the meter in the machine, believing is the way to be seen.
Gone – are we alone? Gone – are we alone?
Gone – are we alone? Gone – we're not alone!

I can't let you disappear, I will keep your soul alive... if I can't have you here.
We were meant to be the Kings,
Rule the masses, run the risks and keep our systems clean.
History may have its share of lunatics and stars...
But the world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
The world will never know another man as amazing as you!
The world will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
The world will never know another man as amazing as you!

The world... will never see another crazy motherfucker like you!
Like you, like you, like... you.
