I am a man from New York
They call Mister Sylar
And I’ve been the ruin of many a poor boy
From me you should run far
My mother was a mystery
She died some years ago
My father was a murderer
Till cancer laid him low
Now the only thing this killer has
Is heartache and regret
And all the powers that I have gained
Have not seen my needs met
(Organ solo)
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your life in blood and misery
With no end but dying alone
Well, I got one foot in purgat’ry
The other foot in the grave
I’m going back to New York now
To see who I can save
Cuz there is a man from New York here
Named Peter Petrelli
And he’s been the savior of many a one
I’m glad he came for me.
