and yet...
I tried to be kind
and near you I stayed.
Only to find,
that I was betrayed.
I gave you a chance
and you failed.
In my true need,
your friendship paled.
Speak to me no more,
you said enough lies...
Now I have but my evil core
and I summon my true allies.
Oh pain!
Bash me back
into my senses.
Heal my lack,
lack of defences.
Oh torment!
Strike me hard
until illusion shatters.
Play your cruelest card
and show me what matters.
Oh darkness!
Shield me from the light
before I become blind.
Hide me from its sight.
before it burns my mind.
Oh malice!
My eternal guilt
wash away.
So I 'll grasp the hilt
and my enemy slay.
Oh beloved night!
I come to your lair
and sanctuary I seek.
Let me breathe your crystal air,
for I cannot bare day's reek.
I won't grieve
for my humanity.
Even if I leave,
my cherished sanity.
...for to grieve,
I could never afford.
