Chapter 1
No time for goodbye he said
As he faded away
Don't put your life in someone's hands
They're bound to steal it away
Don't hide your mistakes
'Cause they'll find you, burn you
Then he said
My hair, soaked with rain, plastered to the sides of my face. I grimaced as the booming sound of thunder hit my sensitive ears. Streaks of lightning raced across the night sky, illuminating the forest that I was limping through. My breath was harsh as it came out in short pants. My vision was starting to get blurry. I blinked, trying to clear it up as coal-black liquid ran down face.
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for your life
'Damn those priests to the fiery pits of hell!' Their whispers echoed in my head. "Demon filth they said! Cleanse the beast they said! Purify it!" I spat the word like it poison in my mouth.
This is my last time she said
As she faded away
It's hard to imagine
But one day you'll end up like me
Then she said
I already knew that I was a monster. Yet, they tried countless times to remind me of the fact every chance they got. I could never escape the agonizing void that had chained itself to me, never letting go, keeping me imprisoned in the darkness.
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for your life
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Whoa-oh, run for your life (Life)
If you want to get out alive (If you want to get out alive)
Whoa-oh, run for your life
A shuddering breath escaped me as I stopped momentarily to lean against a tree. My hand raised to my mouth as I coughed. Black blood spewed from the spaces between my fingers as my vision swam again. I erupted into a coughing fit. My lungs burned with each harsh hack. I gasped between each hack that left me, desperately trying to get air. Then, I heard voices behind me.
If I stay it won't be long
'Til I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for your life
If you want to get out alive
Whoa-oh, run for…..
Suddenly, people were surrounding me . I placed my back to the tree trying to see through the haze. Through cloudy black eyes, I could only make out their outlines. The blobs moved to form a semi-circle. As I struggled to stay upright, one of them came closer.
If I stay, it won't be long
'Til I'm burning on the inside
If I go I can only hope
That I make it to the other side
If I stay, it won't be long
'Til I'm burning on the inside
If I go, and if I go…
"Did you truly think you could escape?" An old man's voice reached my ears. "Foolish demon….."
'Why is that blob talking?' Through my incoherent thoughts I managed to recognize that blob's voice. It was the priest.
My grip on the bark of tree started to falter. I shifted my weight to my other foot, trying to keep from falling. Thunder boomed once more. They began to chant something. The edges of my vision began to go black.
Burning on the inside….
Burning on the inside….
Burning on the inside….
I blacked out.
