Everything that I held dear
Has been taken from me this year
Life is defiled, existence exiled
A vile figure manifests from my fears
Something has taken my hands
A force that I can’t understand
A specter of hatred to spoil the sacred
Forever tortured, I’m left here
My hopelessness knows no bounds
Unable to summon a sound
Beauty desecrated, a soul devastated
I’m fated to suffer alone
My lifetime, my burden to bear
So many years left of despair
How can I stand when they’ve taken my hands
And my greatest of joys they’ve ensnared
Slow and slithering
Cursed eternally
Nemesis, I pledge
I will be again
I will feel them move
I will come for you
I will retribute
I will play the tune
At the burial a song was heard that rung through mountains far
A song on strings to Venus it sings to call the morning star
(Outro)
It had been years since I’d seen them, but after I put on my jacket and wandered off into the chilly night I saw her in a Bur Oak. Then I heard her. I did not question it this time. I knew who she called for.
