A/N A bit fast paced. Sorry about that; blame whoever wrote the lyrics. If there'd been more, I would have written more. Song is: Sinner's Prayer by Sully Erna. Not a popular one, but fits.
Please review
~ To love the right, yet do so wrong
To be the weak, yet learn to be so strong ~
I've done so much in this life – I've done right, I've done wrong. But where am I really? Caught in the middle; see sense, old boy.
Hit myself, abuse myself.
I've learned to stay strong. After so many years of being the weak; the prey. I finally get to be the hunter and not the hunted.
At least that's what I thought.
~ Go rider, although your rides been through life
Go rider, I see your soul through the devil's eyes ~
I thought that what I was doing would be for the Greater Good. To help our world see sense. I didn't know that the Lord of the Death Eater army – ruler over Dark, was an eccentric egomaniacal psychopath deeming the world 'dirty' because of broken breeding laws which resulted in 'half-bloods' and, of course, whom were at fault for every muggle-born.
I should have seen sense, but I did not.
And now it's too late for me.
"You've lived this life as well as any, old chap. As well as any."
~ If I could live my life again,
Would I have lived that life insane? ~
All that I've seen, all that I've done. See me unworthy, see me clean. Do me wrong, show me right. I'm caught in the middle. Prove to me your loyalties – is my word not enough? No, I guess it wouldn't be, would it?
I am a liar,
I am a traitor.
Show me no pity; waste me no breath.
~ Go rider, go ride into the night
Go rider, now see your soul through a woman's eyes ~
My hands our dirty – dried in the blood of innocent's. My petulant anger led me to kill, to murder; it led me to this life without worth and no conceivable trust. I've hurt those I love – I've killed those I don't. I've done much, much worse.
~ I am a sinner,
Hold my prayers up to the sun ~
Save me now, if you would.
I'm sorry.
~ I am a sinner,
Heaven's closed for what I've done ~
Send me such angel, keep her out of reach.
All I want is her; all I want is forgiveness.
Taunt me and tease me so.
~ What have I done,
What have I done? ~
Common sense didn't hit until it was too late.
I've risked my life. I've saved more than I've killed. I've done so in obvious repentance – so save me now. Save me from this Hell. Take me to Heaven within my angel's arms.
You've sent one already, an angel. You force me to bask in her warmth, delight in her rare and whimsical intelligence, and radiate a feeling I've long ago forgotten. Is this what I get – dammit? Something in which I cannot have?
I watch her scowl down at the idiot boys; watch her shove her bushy mane from her eyes, and watch her eyes finally meet with mine.
She's beautiful.
But I'll never have her; she'll never want me.
A murderer.
A sinner.
~ I am sinner,
Hold my prayers up to the sky ~
Oh, what a thought: reciprocated love!
It's too good to be true.
Her caramel-brown eyes captivate me, I swear I don't lie. She's everything, and more, that I could ever begin to ask for.
She lay at my feet, begging for something which I have no intention of giving in return. But it's too late for that, isn't it? She knows, she taunts, she has found my darkest secret.
"Of course I love you. How could I not?"
Kill me now; send me to Hell.
~ I am sinner,
Heaven's closed for what I've done ~
Hold me close, my darling; if you do so, I swear I can just taste my Heaven in you.
~ Heaven's closed for what I've done ~
Leave a review and tell me what you think. They really are much appreciated! Thank you for reading the story.
P.S. If you were wondering, his angel is Hermione Granger. Tried to make it obvious, but maybe it isn't... Sorry.
