A Warrior's Quest
Should you be my Sal­va­tion

The One who sets me free

Wak­ing me from the Dark say­ing:

‘In­to the Light I call thee.’

My dar­ling, be aware, I am not easy to please,

Should you dare awak­en, the side of me kept hid­den,

A se­cret that lies with­in—

A sleep­ing beast, a mon­ster await­ing her arousal,

Do you dare play with my eter­nal burn­ing flames?

Then know that my Wrath and my Vengeance,

My Lust and my Temp­ta­tion,

Over­com­ing what re­main­ing good­ness I may have left

Could very eas­ily have you in­cin­er­at­ed.

A knight in shin­ing ar­mor, a hero slay­ing drag­ons

Is not who I seek,

I search for the One dar­ing to go far be­yond

The realms of civ­iliza­tions, the im­mac­ulate world of re­al­ity

Step in­to the land of Dreams and Fan­ta­sy, my De­liv­er­ance,

Em­brace in­san­ity,

For on the hori­zon be­tween what is ra­tio­nal and what is in­ex­pli­ca­ble

Is where I have been en­trapped

Do you dare to come and find me?

Do you dare to lib­er­ate me be­fore I self-​de­struct?

Do you dare to try to save me from my­self?

Do you dare to wipe my Evil in­to evanes­cence

And drag my in­can­des­cent Clar­ity back above the sur­face?

Should you ev­er tame me, my War­rior,

It is my heart that I will trade

A pre­cious sou­venir for a gra­cious deed

Be­cause I am, af­ter all, Chal­lenge In­car­nate

Come forth and re­lease me.

~ That day ~

When will I be able to escape,
All of these troubles and pains?
These memories, they're chasing me,
Down a road I never thought I would be.

How did it all happen so fast?
Feels like yesterday I was innocent to the past.
Now I'm guilty of so many things,
And part of me died that day.
Tell me when will I get back?

I miss the days I didn't have to hide,
All of these hurts and all of these scars.
I miss the days when everything was fine.
I miss the days when I didn't have to try,
To feel free from these cruel memories,
These memories inside of me.

Now these days go by,
But I'm still stuck in between,
Where I've been and where I want to be.
I don't know if it will ever be done,
Or if I'll be slave to this till the end.
I want to smile again...
