~*~
I never believed in destiny
But if demons exist... then surely,
God must too, right?
At least, that's what I keep telling myself -
But it either seems like
My prayers fly up but never heard,
Or my life deemed an endless trial
Maybe, I have betrayed God in the past
And am paying with my present life?
Yet even if this is an ordeal
God has been kind
I have been blessed with friends;
A dear brother, though lost
And the devil... the devil
With the gentlest heart I've ever seen
Too gentle at times - enough to lead
Our paralleled destinies to cross each other
Maybe, this will prove to be the undoing of me
But you are like a forbidden fruit luring me in
Our crusade into the Sinners' Eden
Every step, every breath, a tear of blood
Spilled - I grasp at your hand, the only light
I see in my obscured vision
My time draws closer, closer, closer
Should I be relieved that my suffering will soon draw to an
End, or should I be sad?
To erase my line from our crossing...
Maybe, there are times I am jealous of her -
Eternal Magdalena - but content to have a place in your heart
The watch spins on, but as it breaks,
Our contract in ashes accomplishes my selfishness
Returning Joshua, but losing you;
Losing him, losing you...
Losing me.
