Winter shifting in the air
Staring at me with that cold blank stare 
Standing up upon those stairs 
You held the power in your hands
The choice was yours 
Do I shoot or do I not 
Did you shoot or did you not 
The decision was yours 
You had my life In your hands 
You held the power 
You had complete control over what you did next
And what I did next 
The move you made
Decided if I was dead or alive 
And sealed the identity of the type of person you are
The cold stare you gave me
Showed your care was nonexistent 
You didn’t care what happened
What consequences came after 
You ran on power
Responsibility
Respect 
Adrenaline 
You had the power
The power that fueled your decisions 
The power that took control of you
When you stood on those stairs 
That winter cold night 
With that stare in your eyes 
You didn’t care whether you pulled the trigger or not 
The only thing that you were thinking of 
Is that you now held the power over me
That if I moved 
If I disobeyed
My life would reach a sudden stop
You wanted the respect you thought you deserved 
But the thing about power
The thing represented in almost every 
Superhero super villain movie 
Is too much power corrupts the mind 
Too much dependability on one corrupts the mind 
Too much disrespect corrupts the mind 
Too much power corrupts the mind
Until it becomes too much
