7. I Am One (5:25)
[Lawless]
Demolition, mission-man
The old boy is hating me
I've become the one, they warned me about
-oh he's gonna die before me
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
18 bloody roses, each a year that bled my soul
18 and numb, I'm somebody's son
Mama, look what I've become
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
Is there no love shelter me
only love, love set me free
Is there no love shelter me
only love, love set me free
Will he take me down to the gallows
And kill the boy inside the man
I'm just a rock and roll nigger
I know he don't know what I am
I don't see my face in the mirror
And more, or understand
Why am I the chosen one?
I'm the crimson man
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
Demolition, mission-man
The old boy is hating me
I've become the one, they warned me about
-oh he's gonna die before me
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
18 bloody roses, each a year that bled my soul
18 and numb, I'm somebody's son
Mama, look what I've become
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
Is there no love shelter me
only love, love set me free
Is there no love shelter me
only love, love set me free
Will he take me down to the gallows
And kill the boy inside the man
I'm just a rock and roll nigger
I know he don't know what I am
I don't see my face in the mirror
And more, or understand
Why am I the chosen one?
I'm the crimson man
Long live, long live, long live the king of mercy
Long live, long live
Is there no love, I am one
The side you see, is the nasty me
Oh I am one
Love I am one
I got something to prove
And nothing to lose
Oh I am one
