Author's Note: Here, viewers are greeted by the philosophy of Yami Bakura. He talks about how his innocence turned to ashes, what effect it had on him as an individual, and what his present state of mind is like…or how I perceive him to be. ^_^

Tainted Temptress
Binding barbed wire
Clasped around my throat
Drawn into a fire
Screaming life's last note
Chains across this heart
Rope clamped on bleeding hands
Death's fine art
Has so many demands
It's not the searing pain I mind
Or having charcoaled skin
Maybe I'm already blind
Turning myself to sin
Constricting catacombs
Treacherous tombs
Wherever I'm made to roam
So close to eternal doom
Lady Death leads me
Telling me where to go
In her shadow I can see
All I ever need to know
Delicious deception
Reality and fantasy
Corrupt conceptions
All her forbidding candy
Tainted Temptress
Offering damning delights
Flirtatious female in a dress
Attracting me to her day and night
Her bidding I shall do
Never will I weep
So long as she'll take me to her room
Her servant she shall keep
Into the garden
Black roses and thorns
Wraps this exterior then
Leaves me to mourn
She never wanted me that way
How sad that I now realize
I'll be here for the rest of my days
Pinned with tears in these eyes
Crying for my mistress
Abandoned in a flower field
Sensual tainted temptress
Loving the power she wields
Another victim
Trapped in Her crypt
Bending to Her every whim
Just to get whipped
Abandoned…alone…
Never to return
Death--my Lady--She's gone
Love's cruel lesson I've learned
For my demise is not due
To who lured me here
Ultimate ruin, that is true
But my own lust pulled me near
Belligerent beauty
Sealed my fate
Lady Death did her duty
Locking me behind Netherworld's Gate
Heaven or Hell
Which one…I can't decide
Either one is a cell
Forcing people to pick sides
Unguided we walk narrow paths
Does destiny choose us…or do we choose it?
Suffering from its wrath
Thrust into life's fiery pit
Search yourself…find your role
What do you condone?
Who will save your soul
If you don't save your own?
