His only kindness came from her
An unknown history degrades his future
Yet his silent protest stubbornly rings
A proud heart ; with an empty stomach

Searching eyes; with a definite vengeance
'Seldom to sigh - scarce seen to smile'
Tortured by Satan; the devils sister his only hope, glows
Deems himself a villain that only destruction will suffice

A lovers rejection; betrayal at the hands of his soul
A pain heavily felt by his own
His absence screams in her nights; dulls the bright
His presence excited a suppressed fire; the coal burns fervently, once again

But he lights another to burn the other
A scar that is worn by those to come.
Priest to a union of fire and ice,
One too cold to live; the other - too bright to die
As opposing natures do; ice is overcome
The flame still burns - with that of its own

A vengeful appetite no longer growls; but he hungers
For that which is beyond.
To lie in an ecstasy of peace, underneath the moor as wild as he;
Next to his beloved soul that lies with thee.
