lyrics

fortune brought me you today
with smile you show yourself in light
never lead me astray they say they say
best of me that's what you'll take flight

i burn my past i shed myself new life
on morning i must bear new truths
somewhere a scream is heard in strife
a man anew takes his millionth form

what man does fate want to see
I'm willing I don't give a damn
once again you demand of me
to let me change what I already am
what I already am

what doubt is left change has set
mirrors show the product the product of faith
do you like do you like do you like this beast
do you like do you like do you like what i made

today has been another mark
another that's been left with plenty
so I dust off my new this new and shiny self
until that day change calls again

what man does fate want to see
I'm willing I don't give a damn
once again you demand of me
to let me change what I already am
what I already am
