Humanity – Izaki Mukura, Akasuna no Sasori

As the flame dies

I close my eyes

And remember what is was like

Before I gave up my humanity.

It was bliss

It was painful.

It was light

It was dark.

I was alive

And I was dead.

There was never a balance in between the two

As there is no balance

When the moon rises when the sun still shines.

I loved

I lied

I laughed

I broke hearts

I smiled

I killed.

As I shed my humanity

I knew

I just knew

It wasn't the same afterwards.

The control I have over my body

Is limited to points which I cannot break.

The day I gave myself to Satan

And broke free of humanity

Was the day I drenched my heart

My soul and my life

In a legacy of blood.

There is no such thing as humanity in the life I lead

There is only cruelty and a yawning absence.

That absence is the absence of life…I stopped living when I gave up my humanity.
