The Dark One's Revelation

Bound in chains of fire and dark

You became my hope, that spark.

Yet here in darkness I still dwell;

For I chose the dark over you, my Belle.

This you know and I'm sorry it's true;

Power should not have severed us two.

I will win you back you see,

None are cleverer than me.

You will see my plan unfold

Then into the night to a tale untold.

Observe my scheming, sneaky and sly.

When have you ever known me to lie?

I go to now where love is drawn;

To evil's gates and a swan's courting song.

Your dark, her light entwined are bright!

What makes your love see dawn's first light?

Our son's love drew us together;

When we work as one there's no wall or tether.

The Dark One stood confused.

The lovers stood amused.

Eyes alight for knowledge unknown;

His mind's last field that sat unsown.

Here my magic is weak and dreary,

I have come to make a deal Dearie.
