Dark and Hollow
(only vaguely) to the tune of: "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright

I did my job
I worked alone
I heard you preaching
On the phone
And the story that you sold me I could swallow
"We'll protect 
This world from wrong
Together we 
Can all be strong."
How could I know you'd make that strength so hollow?

You and I were never fools
You said that we'd obey the rules
And there's a path I knew that I should follow
But now the world we thought we'd change
Looks at us and calls us strange
And here I stand beside you, dark and hollow.

"Just this once,"
You said.  "No more."
We watched him burning
On the floor
And the story that you sold me I could swallow
They paid us back
In death for death:
I felt his final
Shaky breath
How could I know I'd mourn our lost Apollo?

You and I were never fools
You said that we'd enforce the rules
And there's a path I knew that I could follow
But now the world we thought we'd change
Looks at us and calls us strange
And here I stand beside you, dark and hollow.

So things have changed
As I knew they would
When your "Lesser evil"
Met your "Greater good"
And the story that you sold me I could swallow
Our foes are all
The walking dead
Your mark of Cain
Burned on each head
How could I know you'd leave them cold and hollow?

You and I were never fools
You said we'd have to bend the rules
And there's a path I knew that I must follow
But now the world we thought we'd change
Looks at us and calls us strange
And here I stand beside you, dark and hollow.

You sat there on
Your holy throne
And swore to guard them
Like your own
And the story that you sold me I could swallow
Whoever thought
We'd start to pave
The road to Hell
Upon a grave?
I should have known that heroes also fall, oh!

You and I were always fools
You said that we would write the rules
And there's a path I know that I can't follow
The world we thought that we'd rearrange
Is up in arms demanding change
And now I stand before you, dark and hollow.
