I used to rule the world
Criminals died when I gave the word
Now in nothingness I walk alone
Talking of the world I used to own.
I used to write down names
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
Listen as my follows praised,
“Kira is justice! Long shall he reign!”
One minute I held Death Note
Next the curtain was closed on me
And I discovered that my passion stands
Upon justice that only I could comprehend
I hear the sorrow of church bells ringing
Misa Amane walks the street singing
Other Kiras, my sword and shield
My adversaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Once you’re gone there was never
Never a place to go
Why was that never set in stone?
There was a tense feeling about
Stumbled to the door to get out
Propeller stopped and the sound of shots
Matsuda couldn’t believe what I’d become
Near sat patiently waiting
To put my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on Ryuk’s boredom strings
Oh who would ever want to be God?
I hear the sorrow of church bells ringing
Misa Amane walks the street singing
Kiyomi Takada, my sword and shield
My adversaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
Heaven or Hell beyond its name
Never an honest word
But that was when fear ruled the world
I hear the sorrow of church bells ringing
Misa Amane walks the street singing
Teru Mikami, my sword and shield
My adversaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can’t explain
The shadow person whose name I claimed
As my eyes slowly shut
I find it was L who rules the world
