Infernal Eyes Part II

There's a Demon in my headspace

A Curse

To which I'm chained

Brutality and evil burn

He's driving me insane

-

-

Gripped by wanton carnage

Like moths drawn to the flame

He slaughters clan

At my own hand

Then feeds upon disdain

-

-

The Demon feasts on anguish

On thunderous grief and pain

And through my teeth

He smiles and irks

As hope

Then slips away

-

-

Look beyond the hatred

Behind my haunted eyes

Through the gateway

To the soul

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Do you see him?

Do you see me?

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

A bitter twist of fate

To think

That healing once my power

Do you remember

When I healed you, Link

Before you fought him

In 'my' tower

-

-

For once I was a Shaman King

Adept with healing power

Before Demise consumed my soul

With his Demonic fire

-

-

To heal you was all I could do

To end his toxic ways

Before he took complete control

And I became a slave

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

Belief or disbelief

That is up to you

What is hidden in the darkness?

Tricks full of ill will...

You cannot see the way forward

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

But I can

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

I do not seek redemption

For my accursed past

My soul is now forsaken

My spirit turned to ash

As we reincarnate

I watch and writhe

I do not live I cannot die

I am in limbo

Watching

Waning

Chained to the curse

It is a lonely existence

So cold and bleak my world has gotten

Slowly fading

Going rotten

The song that once could heal my soul

Has long through time

Since been

Forgotten

Like me

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

I miss my family

He killed them

I killed them

Like a puppet on some fucked up strings I –

There are no words

To such grief I am bound

It sustains him

Eternally

Perhaps they saw

I hope they did

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

I am sorry

I am sidetracked

What was I saying?

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

-

I do not seek forgiveness

For the deeds now cast

There is no hope in my future

Nor within my past

But when you tell these tales of old

Of times when death and loss forebode

Remember

What I say o thee

That wretched curse

It is not me

His venom may run through my blood

His Malice through my bones

But the name through which his hatred bleeds

That name is not his own

-

-

Listen now, my child of fate

To this, my final plea

As I sink down through the abyss

Into nihility

Seek no more that Sacred Blade

It is the final key

That binds him to swift emptiness

And with it

It binds me

Draw not that Blade from Sacred Keep

Do not remove the key

Leave me to oblivion

Just do not

Set him free
