Love and Lucrecia

By: Footnote

The crimson curtain is all I know

I surround myself in it so

To drown out my sins and drown out my pain

Slowly but surely, to know what is sane

When my sins are finally forgiven

And my ambitions are no longer driven

Perhaps then I'll know some kind of peace

Her endless crying shall finally cease

Locked in a coffin I shall reside

Longing that I'm next to her death bedside

Holding her hands and holding her dear

Trying to stop every accusing tear

But I wasn't there to lay a palm on her head

Or kiss her goodnight and lay her to bed

To leave reminders of me by the day

And beg her silently each night to kiss me and stay

And now I can't even lay a rose on her grave

For fear that I should repeat that stave

And make the same mistakes again

God forbid I should forget those sins

What is love but a wilting red rose

Dying and beautiful, that's how love always goes

But never should it end in tragedy

If only to punish a sinner like me

An assassin in more than one way

Killing by night and killing by day

Bullets and rosebuds, they all seem the same

Either way are destroyed, as if love was a game

And how it should go, some lose and some win

Only those that lose are those who sin

Sins, regrets, grievances, bad deeds

They all be the same when it is angels who heed

And an angel she was, my dearest, she be

Six-wing-ed seraphim now at least

And the two-wing-ed demon cursed to roam nights

Is I who sees with the crimson lights

I can't say I'm sorry or that I wish to move on

That'd be the same thing as cursing She-Who-Is-Gone

To ask for forgiveness is worse than the sin

I deserve this coffin I'm in

I wish nothing more for death and for sleep

So my frozen soul may no longer weep

To leave one Hell in exchange for another

Which one is better I wonder, I wonder...

Maybe my curse is immortality

To live forever with the sins I keep

And lose those that I hold somewhat dear

Is nothing compared to one diamond tear

A monster is all I am, a demon's keep

A coven of devils from Hell's darkest reach

Glowing red eyes and blood-dripping claws

For nothing but evil, my creator, my cause

And so I'll stay here laid to rest

With only Silence and Loneliness

Misery loves company, it's true what they say

And may Love and Lucrecia find each other some day.
