I Will Prevail

[Hatter]
A child believes
The best in you
And that belief always make the
Darkest lies seem almost true
A sleight of hand...
This "almost truth"
Can beguile the purest youth
To Wonderland

Now every piece is in place
And all that's left to erase before I
Take over all the power
Is every trace of dear Alice
Then the queen

She's been a thorn in my side
And she can run but can't hide
We're fast approaching
The witching hour
And settling score is my routine

Oh well -- all's well
End's well -- farewell, Alice
Too late -- checkmate is your fate...

It's over
I come alive when you're afraid
I'll write the ending of your
Tragic fairy tale

I will survive and you will fade
A withered flower small and frail...
While I prevail

This time it's gonna be me
The last thing you'll ever see
And armageddon of my devising

There's no way you can escape from what I do
So leave your half-hearted souls
For me to bully and rule
The sly magician of compromising
To conjure all that is false
Until it's true

Poor Jack -- blackjack
Sad-sack fallen hero
Bad news- you lose
Light the fuse...

It's over
You die -- I thrive -- and so it goes
I am the ending of your tragic fairy tale
I will -- survive - and heaven knows
There is no way that I can fail
I will prevail
