The Long Goodbye of Alan Turing

Christopher... [Verse] In the shadows, I recall, a love lost in the night Christopher, my beacon, now beyond my sight Brilliance turned to burden, genius worn to dust In a world that shuns the different, where could I place my trust [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows cloud the mind Injustice and betrayal, in a world so unkind The weight of secrets, too heavy to hold The end draws near, as the night turns cold The long goodbye [Instrumental] [Verse2] Pioneered the future, in rooms of silence, alone Machines that think, birthed from my mind's own throne Yet, I'm the criminal, judged for who I am A mind that saved millions, crushed by society's hand [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows cloud the mind Injustice and betrayal, in a world so unkind The weight of secrets, too heavy to hold The end draws near, as the night turns cold [Bridge] Enigma's secrets cracked, but at what personal cost A war won through numbers, yet my own battle lost Chemical chains, an alchemist’s nightmare come true In the end, the greatest foe was the world I never knew [Outro] In the final whisper, Christopher, I see your face The one light in darkness, in this desolate place A sip of cyanide, to silence the pain The long goodbye, in shadows, I remain [Instrumental Buildup] [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows cloud the mind Injustice and betrayal, in a world so unkind The weight of secrets, too heavy to hold The end draws near, as the night turns cold [Bridge] Enigma's secrets cracked, but at what personal cost A war won through numbers, yet my own battle lost Chemical chains, an alchemist’s nightmare come true In the end, the greatest foe was the world I never knew [Outro] In the final whisper, Christopher, I see your face The one light in darkness, in this desolate place A sip of cyanide, to silence the pain The long goodbye, in shadows, I will remain [Screaming] Christopher... [Verse] In the shadows, I recall, a love lost in the night Christopher, my beacon, now beyond my sight What of my legacy, with my genius confined The drugs they forced on me, do cloud my brilliant mind [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows fill the brain Injustice and betrayal, my efforts are in vain The weight of their secrets, too heavy for me to hold The end draws near, as light grows dim and cold [Verse2] I built the future, alone in silent rooms Machines that think, from my mind they bloomed Yet I'm the criminal, judged for who I am My mind that saved millions, now crushed by their hand [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows fill the brain Injustice and betrayal, my efforts are in vain The weight of their secrets, too heavy for me to hold The end draws near, as light grows dim and cold [Bridge] I cracked the Nazi Enigma, but at such dire cost Betrayed by those I saved, now my sanity lost Chemical chains to bind me, a nightmare filled with strife Punished by the very world, for which I risked my life [Outro] My name is tarnished, my spirit in pain The system's best defender, but driven insane Christopher, I miss you, in this final trace A sip of cyanide, to leave this cruel place The long goodbye [Verse2] I built the future, alone in silent rooms Machines that think, from my mind they bloomed Yet I'm the criminal, judged for who I am My mind that saved millions, now crushed by their hand [Chorus] What is a legacy, when shadows fill the brain Injustice and betrayal, my efforts are in vain The weight of their secrets, too heavy for me to hold The end draws near, as light grows dim and cold [Bridge] I cracked the Nazi Enigma, but at such dire cost Betrayed by those I saved, now my sanity lost Chemical chains to bind me, a nightmare filled with strife Punished by the very world, for which I risked my life [Outro] My name is tarnished, my spirit in pain The system's best defender, but driven insane Christopher, I miss you, in this final trace A sip of cyanide, to leave this cruel place The long goodbye, in shadows, I shall remain [Bridge] I cracked the Nazi Enigma, but at such dire cost Betrayed by those I saved, now my sanity lost Chemical chains to bind me, a nightmare filled with strife Punished by the very world, for which I risked my life [Outro] My name is tarnished, my spirit in pain The system's best defender, but driven insane Christopher, I miss you, in this final trace A sip of cyanide, to leave this cruel place The long goodbye, in shadows, I shall remain
