believe me I know what it's like

but you are making a mistake

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

'til you lose complete control

and realize there's nothing left to lose

nothing left to lose

Cass, trust me

becoming the villain isn't the answer-

is that what you think I am?

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

you have so much to hold onto

I only want my rightful dues

listen please, you've lost your grip and lost your mind (I'm not gonna lose)

all's not lost, don't be so blind (I refuse)

cut your losses, drop the IOUs (I refuse)

oooh-ooh

I lose no tears and lose no sleep

what I want I'll take and keep (It's time for you to choose)

you can't stop the turning on the screws

now I have nothing left

to lose
