Years.
One thousand years I patiently waited.
Sitting in my despair.
Believing,
Just believing,
It would, could, all end.
But in the middle of "Believing",
The word "Lie" is there.
Deceiving,
So deceiving,
Were the words of a dark friend.
Tears.
I cannot count the tears which fell,
In my moonlit cavern.
Hoping,
Only hoping,
That stars would still align.
Then thou—no, you—laughed yet.
At once, my world was shattered.
Living,
Barely living,
With saltwater I cried.
Fears.
My deepest fears unleashed on me,
From my past deeds I've done.
Falling,
Constantly falling,
Into my fantasy.
A kingdom where I ruled alone.
A land without the sun.
Waiting,
Bitterly waiting,
For Her to bow to me.
Gears.
Like clockwork, my mind sank in place.
My movements not my own.
Blinding,
Oh, how it was blinding,
The rage that shone in Our souls.
The lonely Princess of the Night,
Miles away from home.
Burning,
You know it was burning,
When you seized my control.
Sneers.
That was what they gave to us.
Knowing not the culprit.
Crumbling,
'Twas crumbling,
The peaceful way I'd lived.
And yet, I did not understand,
That my eyes were but a crypt.
Fading,
Then fading,
Lay the sad mare, raised in bliss.
My Dear,
That was when the clockwork clicked.
Harmonious spectrum of light,
Shining,
Brightly shining,
Brought truth unto my heart.
A booming strength in broken will,
Gave me power to fight.
Standing,
Proudly standing,
Against Nightmarish Dark.
Years.
One thousand years will once again pass,
My story lost to time.
Rising,
I am still rising,
Above my failure and distress.
I'll not commit my mistake again,
You will not fool me twice.
Protecting,
My land, I'm protecting,
For I shall not be oppressed.
