The Dark Phoenix
Who am I? Who am I?
The Dark Phoenix. But Why?
Why am I in this shell?
I'm trapped, trapped in Hell.
I slaughtered the purest of pure,
Destroyed my most beloved friends.
My arrogance, my lust, my pride
Lost my legs, arms and my hide.
Burned I was, by flames so hot
Not immolated, but never to rot.
Trapped in this dark shell.
Fall did me from the sky
Like Lucifer did before I.
Now I ponder, not I wait
Did I start my quest too late?
Had sought what I desired,
Would I not of been breathed in fire?
Would my love not be dead?
Would we still be lovers and wed?
Would my child grow big and strong?
No, those hopes are far and gone.
Now I stand by darkness side.
I am a murderer, a destroyer, a monster.
The Dark Phoenix not to rise back to light,
But to fight it with all my might.
Only one could save me now.
Only one could redeem me, but how?
He is gone, he dead.
Murdered by my hand, inside the one I wed.
My only quest, my only desire:
To kill the darkness at my side
To become it and grow.
To find my own demon to raise and corrupt
To defend my life one day when he seeks it out
To become greater than I.
This is my fate, once "Walker of Skies"
Trapped in the dark shell
Never to hope.
Never to rise.
Never to look into my son's eyes.
I am the Dark Phoenix, the Dark Lord,
The Lord Vader.
