the great misconceptions of me
Singer:w.a.s.p.
welcome to the show the great finale's finally here
i thank you for coming into my theatre of fear
you're all witnesses you see
a privileged invitation to the last rights of me
remember me? you can't save me
the crimson idol of a million
the crimson idol of a million eyes
i am the prisoner of the paradise i dreamed
the idol of a million lonely faces look at me
behind the mask of sorrow
four doors of doom behind my eyes
i've got their footprints all across my crimson mind
long live the king of mercy
with an anthem in my soul
the idol of eight thousand lonely days of rage ago
and remember me when it comes your time to choose
be careful what you wish for
living in the limelight little did i know
i was dying in the shadows and the mirror was my soul
but the dream became my nightmare and no-one could hear me scream
the headlines read of my suicide
the crimson idol of a million
the crimson idol of a million eyes
