Ahhhh I've been working on this for such a long while and I am so glad it's finally done! Of course, as always, Sunshi has done a spectacular job at singing and made this song 100 percent better than I ever imagined!!!
And, of course, this will be the last Dream SMP song I'll release (Unless for some reason I'll have an urge to write a Ranboo song or smth). It will now be a part of the album that I will release uuuhhhh hopefully soon, it's difficult to predict during christmas time XD

There is grass around me
It smells like thunder
A ghost of the child
That grew up a hunter
He stands in mud
His boots are too big
I leaned in and asked him
“What are you doing?”

There’s nothing left of you
Just skin and bones
Only things I inherited
And they’re getting worse
My voice still trembling
Still grunt since then
And they kept telling me
Scars make a man”

But now I’m

Chorus:
Corrupted by power
Corrupted by powder
From guns and explosions
Their echoing voices
Corrupted by dying
Corrupted by bleeding
Shut my heavy eyes and kept on leading
Corrupted and broken
My pain is unspoken
I’ll keep up my smile
But I’d laugh like a child
Corrupted corrupted corrupted by blood
Abandoned by God

Prison is a prison for a reason
Blood's supposed to be as scarlet as the dawn
Knives are sharpened carefully treason
when our flag is burning down

There are walls around me
They’re built out of cobble
The snow in my hair
The snow’s turning awful
I’ll breathe in the freedom
That’s left after storm
I’ll stand up and ask them
“Aren’t you bored?

The war went on long,
So why can’t we stop?
I built you a home
But you fight nonstop
My hands keep trembling,
The phantom pain
And they kept telling me,
It will come again

They’re

Chorus:
Corrupted by power
Corrupted by powder
From guns and explosions
Their echoing voices
Corrupted by dying
Corrupted by bleeding
Shut my heavy eyes and kept on leading
Corrupted and broken
My pain is unspoken
I’ll keep up my smile
But I’d laugh like a child
Corrupted corrupted corrupted by blood
Risen from the mud

I stand up tall, but bones, they hurt,
I’m done with being nice.
I watch them fight, my vision’s blurred,
As they meet their demise.
And time, it stops, when I find out,
I lost them all, I lost my fight.
I’m tired, tired, tired, tired
MICHAEL!

Chorus:
Corrupted, a lover
Corrupted, no power
My scars from explosions
I hear singing voices
Corrupted by loving
Corrupted by lying
Wipe off my tears and kept on trying
Corrupted and broken
My pain is unspoken
The ghost of a child
He lost his old smile
Corrupted corrupted corrupted by blood
My blood.

You can leave me to die,
Curse me out, take what’s mine,
I will stay behind bars,
If it means you’ll be fine.
There’s no way I will leave you,
I’ll give up all I care for,
So, therefore…

Hope you enjoy :)
