[Verse 1: Adam WarRock]
And it starts with a name
Spoken into the darkness
And the particles spread through space
From the middle of your heart
To the dark expanses
Where nothing was before
And now there's everything
You tapped into the power
That science was trying to harness
Yes, they said your pattern matched
With apocalypse
Tubes and bandages on your head
You never knew what made you special
So you felt like nothing
You felt less than others
You felt different; you felt separate
Remember when they used to bully the new kid
I stuck up for you; you used to cry in school
So we stuck close together
We tore through town
You always wanted more than you could do
I said "slow down"
But all you did was scoff
Yeah

[Bridge 1]
It's the way that a friendship ends
Resented me cause you couldn't contend
Little snot nosed kid but he's my best friend
And i bossed him around so he held it within
Pain and suffering with power
Now he's punishing everyone around him
It's the end of the world
Yo

[Chorus]
Let your name ring out
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands, yo
They will remember you, tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands
You are, I am
You are

Tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands, yo
They will remember you, tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands
You are, I am
You are
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo

[Verse 2: Adam WarRock]
Are you in there?
I never really saw you before
And these are the things
That you keep locked deep in your soul
All the memories i found
That's behind locked doors
Yes, I see it
I hold it deep
You disappeared
Just a ghost that never existed
And the ocean floods
They wash the blood away
But still the stains will stay
Locked in our memories
Now we start over
We rebuild and neo-tokyo lives
Like it never really did before, yo
On the other side of time
The galaxy is yours
But this world remains mine so
I will live life
Looking up in the sky
I see you old friend
Gone away
And all the dead remains
And all that's left to say

[Bridge 2] X 2
It's the way that the world ends
It's the way that the world begins
From the death of a city
The mistake of men
And the loss of a friend
Now they've taken him

[Chorus]
Let your name ring out
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands, yo
They will remember you, tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands
You are, I am
You are

Tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands, yo
They will remember you, tetsuo
The beginning and the end
With the world in your hands
You are, I am
You are
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo
You are, I am
Tetsuo
