The Way Things Are (Reprise) Lyrics by Frank Wildhorn, Jack Murphy, Ivan Menchell

Death Note: The Musical

0

[L: Verse 1]
Finally figured a way to prove
Kira is your name
I win the game
Gotta calculate one last trick
Get you there by ten
The pier, and then

[Pre-Chorus]
Into the warehouse where
I'll corner you at last
Bring a gun and end it fast
There is no escaping

[Chorus]
The cold, hard truth
Won't disappear
You can't change it
You will face your end
And cringe with fear
You can't escape it

The cold, hard truth
Is my north star
So no matter what you might try
Shake the heavens, shatter the sky
I know that today you will die
The way things are
