Beneath the surface

Beneath the surface, under the skin
Lies something dark and deep within
Underneath the cloak and underneath the smirk
Waits a shadow, a shade of evil lurks

Long have I concealed it, a never ending war
A battle just to trap it, in a place called Nevermore
Long the fight, even longer the war
Yet longer still the road before

I must continue fighting, I can never quit
If I do I fear my friends, lives will be forfeit
So endlessly I struggle and endlessly I fight
However I would rather follow in 'her' footsteps
And pursue a headlong flight into the night

I fear my past is catching up, I fear the time is near
When all my hopes and fears gather here
To torment me today, yet I still fight
I have one hope, that salvation will come to me

I curse my Father and his hateful pride, which led to all this pain
I curse the day he took my mother, raped her in the rain
The quiet days spent learning, on peaceful Azarath
Yet when I left to live my life, he tried to torment me

He came and tried to take me back, I battled for my life
When finally I defeated him, I locked him in Nevermore
But he stills haunts me, he burns inside
A darkness from which I cannot hide

Though I try to forget, I will never forgive what he did to me that day
He took my life, peaceful and quiet, and turned it inside out
It infuriates me, to no end, to try and figure out
Why he did that, what did he gain, or is his pleasure in my pain?

So I must endure, each and every day
Living with the pain he gave
It will never go away
I guess what they say is true:
The sins of your Father will falleth on you

Authors note- Hey all whats up? This is about Raven and her feelings for
Trigon, not the best thing that it coulda been but I have been running into
these nasty writer blocks....sigh. If you are wondering 'her' refers to Terra...
Well I am going to go listen to some black metal, maybe the hatefulness
will kill the blocks. Oh yeah B4 I forget this is for Raventhedarkgoddess. Later all
