The faces of the dead torment me
They laugh at me
Whispering cruel things
I will not listen to them
They can only reach me in my dreams
Because when I am awake, I am strong
Invincible even
Gods of death cannot harm me
And angels who fall cannot taste my sin
I have a demons' promise
His power is mine
Marked by the devil himself
Scarred to atone for my sins
Do you believe in God?
I do
I have to
He is the redemption that I scorn
I forfeited my rights to heaven
When that demon called out to me
Neither heaven nor hell may have my soul
Once I die he will devour it
I will essentially become a part of him
No, I did not ask for this life
But Life does not bend to the will of mere mortals
Because that is what I am
Mortal
I am a human
And I hate myself for it
Whispers so sweet
Like honey and soft as silk
Perhaps once there was salvation for me
But that time was burned
The fires of my hell consumed it
Along with my family and any chance I had at love
My path is simple
Hate
And when I am done
My demon will save me
