The threat of the Goblin king

How far you have run to get away from your life?

How far will you go to keep yourself separated from it?

The ends of the earth are not far enough away,

And forever is to short a time,

To get away from the pain you cause.

I have seen you dance in this masquerade called life with skill.

I have seen you dance through the labyrinth of lies to get to the truth.

I have seen you exchange mask for mask and dream for dream,

Just to get away from who you really are.

When faced with reality you fight with a dream,

When faced with an unknown evil you play the damsel in distress,

When faced with a fight you play the hero,

And when faced love you shrink back to what you know,

Why won't you let me live within your heart?

I have given you every thing,

A choice,

A chance,

A life,

A love,

Yet still you refuse me.

You really don't know what you want,

And I let myself play the part of the fool.

I do all this for you,

But still you only take for yourself,

Leaving those behind you with nothing,

Why do I care?

I loved you once,

But never again.

I have been generous,

And now I shall be cruel.

I shall take for myself,

And you shall be left with nothing.

You shall stumble in the masquerade ball of life,

Unable to see were you are going.

The truth will become a lie,

And the lie will break you.

You will have no mask to hide behind,

Your dreams will be dashed to pieces.

Finally you shall see,

I am only who I want to be.

I have power over you,

And you will no longer have any over me.
