Love and Lucrecia
By: Footnote
The crimson curtain is all I knowI surround myself in it so
To drown out my sins and drown out my pain
Slowly but surely, to know what is sane
When my sins are finally forgiven
And my ambitions are no longer driven
Perhaps then I'll know some kind of peace
Her endless crying shall finally cease
Locked in a coffin I shall reside
Longing that I'm next to her death bedside
Holding her hands and holding her dear
Trying to stop every accusing tear
But I wasn't there to lay a palm on her head
Or kiss her goodnight and lay her to bed
To leave reminders of me by the day
And beg her silently each night to kiss me and stay
And now I can't even lay a rose on her grave
For fear that I should repeat that stave
And make the same mistakes again
God forbid I should forget those sins
What is love but a wilting red rose
Dying and beautiful, that's how love always goes
But never should it end in tragedy
If only to punish a sinner like me
An assassin in more than one way
Killing by night and killing by day
Bullets and rosebuds, they all seem the same
Either way are destroyed, as if love was a game
And how it should go, some lose and some win
Only those that lose are those who sin
Sins, regrets, grievances, bad deeds
They all be the same when it is angels who heed
And an angel she was, my dearest, she be
Six-wing-ed seraphim now at least
And the two-wing-ed demon cursed to roam nights
Is I who sees with the crimson lights
I can't say I'm sorry or that I wish to move on
That'd be the same thing as cursing She-Who-Is-Gone
To ask for forgiveness is worse than the sin
I deserve this coffin I'm in
I wish nothing more for death and for sleep
So my frozen soul may no longer weep
To leave one Hell in exchange for another
Which one is better I wonder, I wonder...
Maybe my curse is immortality
To live forever with the sins I keep
And lose those that I hold somewhat dear
Is nothing compared to one diamond tear
A monster is all I am, a demon's keep
A coven of devils from Hell's darkest reach
Glowing red eyes and blood-dripping claws
For nothing but evil, my creator, my cause
And so I'll stay here laid to rest
With only Silence and Loneliness
Misery loves company, it's true what they say
And may Love and Lucrecia find each other some day.
