[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
Behind a high wall, in a castle of grey,
A proud knight just watched the world waste away.
He saw all the people, their greed and their pride,
And built up a fortress to hide deep inside.
He paid them no taxes, he wanted no crown,
Just watched from his window as walls tumbled down.
Then one day he woke up and stood in the light,
Face to face with his God in the endless night.

[Pre-Chorus]
And a voice like the thunder, but gentle and low,
Said, "Son, there are some things that I think you should know."
"The word that I've heard is you just don't care at all..."
The knight looked right back, standing proud, standing tall...

[Chorus]
"I cared for nothing in a world full of lies!
I closed my heart under cold, empty skies!
I saw the corruption, the poison, the pain,
So I learned to feel nothing again and again!
And I'll care for nothing until my last breath,
'Cause caring for something is a fate worse than death!"

[Verse 2]
"I cared for nothing, not their laws or their games,
I cared for nothing, not their power or names.
And I'll keep on this path till the ages are done,
There's no other battle that's worth being won.
It's the one way to live, the one way to be,
In this prison of madness, the one way you're free.
This body is fragile, all passion is sold,
The world is just chaos, a story that's old."

[Chorus]
"I cared for nothing in a world full of lies!
I closed my heart under cold, empty skies!
I saw the corruption, the poison, the pain,
So I learned to feel nothing again and again!
And I'll care for nothing until my last breath,
'Cause caring for something is a fate worse than death!"

[Bridge]
God listened a moment, then let out a sigh,
"I see the deep sorrow you hold in your eye.
If caring for nothing is what sets you free,
Then who am I, son, to tell you how to be?"
"I forgive you the pride that you wear like a shield..."
"Go back to your world, to your own battlefield..."

[Guitar Solo]
[Final Chorus]
I'LL CARE FOR NOTHING IN A WORLD FULL OF LIES!
I'LL CLOSE MY HEART UNDER COLD, EMPTY SKIES!
I SAW THE CORRUPTION, THE POISON, THE PAIN,
SO I'LL LEARN TO FEEL NOTHING AGAIN AND AGAIN!
AND I'LL CARE FOR NOTHING UNTIL MY LAST BREATH,
'CAUSE CARING FOR SOMETHING IS A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!

[Outro]
The knight walked back down to his castle of grey,
And cared for nothing... to his final day...

[End]
