When I was eight, I touched a scroll that held a demon’s soul.
From that day on, my life was changed: I feel it made me whole.
I do not feel what others feel, such things as grief or pain,
but still I find much joy in life, like leaving bodies slain.
So if you call me evil
You’re absolutely right.
But mind that you don’t mention it
If I’m in line of sight.
For once I’ve got you on my list
I’ll come for you at night:
Though there’s a noose around my neck,
It never will draw tight.
I wear my mask, my handsome face, so folks like me around.
I chitter-chatter pleasantly, joke that I’ll ne’er be crowned,
Since I was born the youngest son, fifth prince of princes five.
And yet my brothers better run before I take their live.
So if you call me evil
You’re absolutely right.
But mind that you don’t mention it
If I’m in line of sight.
For once I’ve got you on my list
I’ll come for you at night:
Though there’s a noose around my neck,
It never will draw tight.
My dream’s to slay the sorceress who can’t bleed or be killed:
One needs ambitious goals in live to make sure one grows skilled.… Weiterlesen
You want me to say that I love none but you
And I say as you wish, but you don’t think it’s true.
O you are the fairest that ever I’ve seen –
Let me be your mirror … will you be my queen?
From your wall, I can watch your rooms corners. I spy
Every step that you take, every time you pass by.
And sometimes you’ll stop and your face we will share …
How much do I wish that forever you’re there!
You want me to say that I love none but you
And I say as you wish, but you don’t think it’s true.
O you are the fairest that ever I’ve seen –
Let me be your mirror … will you be my queen?
In your eyes, I can see things I rarely can see:
They’re reflecting my soul. In your eyes, I am free.
I’m a mere piece of glass if you stay from my sight,
But spare me a smile, and the world turns to light.
You want me to say that I love none but you
And I say as you wish, but you don’t think it’s true.
O you are the fairest that ever I’ve seen –
Let me be your mirror … will you be my queen?… Weiterlesen
It’s been a long time since you left me
Left me alone, left me to weep and cry
It’s been a long time since you left me:
You’re gone, and I’ll never know why.
But I still see your face in the ashes
and I still hear your voice in the smoke-filled cloud –
but your laughter sounds hollow
and I will not follow
your way through the veil – I won’t pass the shroud.
I wander that path down the valley
Walk down that path that often we’ve walked before
I wander that path down the valley:
It isn’t my vale anymore.
But I still see your eyes in the fire
and I still hear your call in the thunderstorm
but your gaze is all frozen,
to live I have chosen:
your hands feel so cold, and I want to keep warm.
I lay down to sleep in the evening
Lay down to sleep, lay down to wake and rise
I lay down to sleep in the evening
Your world is one step from me eyes.
And I still feel your breath on my pillow
and I still feel your hands close around my neck
but though you are still crying
as daylight is dieing:
You can take my life, but you can’t take me back
