Chapter Four

We were once the same sides of a coin

When Destiny created us, we were joined

One the lord of the shadows

The other lay in heaven's meadows

But we were young, we did not thought

That against each other we will have fought

That fateful night, you were proclaimed evil

I was watching, to steal the spider

When you had fallen, there was no cure

I begged Mr Crespley, I was lured

To be a vampire, damned for eternity

How did you repay me? By hate and jealousy!

You swore to hunt me down, if it's the last thing you do

Became my worst enemy, but I could not see the truth

I did it for you!

But you can't see it, you're a fool.

You thought I betrayed you

But the truth is you betrayed me too.

You killed Mr Crespley, hurt my sister

Everyone I hold dear, the hate so bitter

In the end, we're both dead

Lying at the bottom of a lake

How do you feel, Steve Leonard?

For causing me so much hurt?

The war of the scars, lord of the shadows reigns

The barren future, vampires against vampaneze

All told in my forlorn tale

How Darren Shan triumphed and fail

Triumphed in evading destiny,

Lost a brother, who is part of me.
