/
she did not ask for this
life of deceit
of crime and darkness
of night and shadows
/
she was once
a good girl
with hopes and dreams
with innocent eyes
/
(a life, all of it, stolen away)
/
change is inevitable
they so often say
but not like this
they never say this
/
she had to lose it all
just to find herself
he showed her the way
but at what price?
/
(she prayed for a savior, but not like this)
/
now she has become
a knife, a wraith
his secret weapon
the shadows incarnate
/
the good girl is gone
dreams of stars and flowers
all replaced
by blades and blood
/
a queen to his king
a wraith to his darkness
she is shifting, transforming
and she's not sure she minds it
/
change is inevitable
they so often say
and what matters most
is what you make of it
/
she is a spy, a lost girl
the sovereign of shadows
she has taken that night
and made it her day
/
(she does not see the light any longer, it has become her)
/
may the saints guide her
and he at her side
may her heart aim true
(whatever's left of it, of course)
/
for she cannot control what's stolen
all she can do
is fight, and pray and
take
it
back.
