bookmark_borderCall Me Evil (Tymur’s Song)

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.
She is the only one to tell if truly I’m possessed
So I’ll make sure that no one knows, and killing is the best.

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’m gathering a band of goons to set out on my quest
And have them quarrel day and night about who loves me best.
Just to make sure they’ll never see what lurks behind my eyes
For the first one to call me out will be the next who dies.

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.

bookmark_borderLet me be your Mirror

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?

Never I will show faces of any but you.
May the world think me blind if you know that I’m true.
I’d do anything for you, it’s still not enough:
All mirrors turn magic, if they learn how to love.

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?

Tell me why do you treat me so cold and so cruel?
You’re betraying my love! Do you think I’m a fool?
Any mirror you pass by, you’ll bless with your smile
And care naught for your true love – I perish meanwhile …

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?

One last glance – one last smile’s all I’m asking of you.
Now my magic can bind you, there’s naught you can do.
Your face I’ll hold frozen, your joy and your grief,
You never will move now … and you never will leave.

I want you to say that you love none but me,
And if you say so, why should I set you free?
O you are the fairest that ever I’ve see.
Let me be your mirror … Will you be my queen?

bookmark_borderFace in the Ashes

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
