Song of Amaranta
There from before
Doomed to follow behind
Newcomer enters
Loved by my kind
I wanted a future
She carried her past
Longing for love
As I came in last
Her beauty, her gain
She was second to none
My sorrow, my pain
For he only loved one
Desperately searching
Last-ditch revenge
My hope of beginning
Was another's end
Shadowed my thoughts
Hide through the years
The unwanted darkness
Must cover my fears
Secretly dying
For another chance
But all hope is swallowed
In destiny's dance
A second turn given
To me at last
But I can't accept it
A self-made outcast
I want to be close
Why do I pull away
Embracing my night
For my soul has no day
Destroy to stay safe
Weave my own shroud
Whatever I've missed
I have always been…
Proud.
