I tried to write from the point of view of Kullervo (and I probably didn't do so well...) 'Cause if you think of it, he just wanted to protect himself and mythical creatures from harm. Maybe he was just evil, but I'd like to think that he wasn't... but that he was just.... slightly deluded....
Dedicated to: my kitty, who sat on my lap while I wrote. =)
All I wanted was darkness
All I wanted was to hide from light
All I wanted was to be safe
From the hurt.
*
'Cause those people
Are powerful too
And those people
Can take away
All that I ever wanted
I just want to be
Safe from the hurt
They can bring
*
And I never wanted
Never wanted…
*
The hurt and the pain
The destruction that came
The sneaking, the lies
The throbbing inside
Of me…
*
And this was
All I never wanted…
*
I could have changed myself
I could have been different
I could have done everything
Everything I wanted…
*
Will the histories claim
That I lived in great fame
That I was a despised name
What will they proclaim
On the streets…?
*
And this was
All I never wanted
Never wanted…
*
Never wanted this to hurt
Never wanted to kill
Never wanted to tear
Someone's heart out
Never wanted to be cursed
With this desperate wish to fulfill
Never wanted to err
Never wanted to be without…
Without any love
*
And as I take my last breath
In a different kind of death
I look back, and regret
How did I let it get
This way…
*
This way was all I never wanted
All I never wanted
Never wanted
Never wanted
This…
