The vanity and selfishness  
That I once built upon  
The ignorance that I had deemed  
Is all but dead and gone

You took away my self-esteem  
And beat it with a smash  
And everything you knew before  
Was gone within a flash

You made me think about those words  
And all that I had said  
You took the pride that was inside  
And filled me up with dread

You put me in a corner filled  
With sorrow and with shame  
Where I had come to realize  
I have no one to blame

Yet still I feel there's something left  
That I should carry on  
You cast me into darkness but  
You've yet to see the dawn

The days of shame are over and  
It's time for me to stand  
To pick up all the pieces and  
Establish something grand

You think you have the best of me  
That you are going to win  
But this is just another start  
To which I can begin

You thought that it was over but  
We've only just begun  
And I will choose to fight until  
The battle has been won

You made all of your fortunes and  
You flaunted all your gains  
I'll take what you created and  
I'll burn it down in flames

And when I finish with my plan  
I will be standing tall  
For in the end my little friend  
My pride will be your fall
