***
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
there are two parts to me, this I know
|
||
|
|
much like the myth of two wolves prowling through the snow
|
||
|
|
one head to evil, the other to despair
|
||
|
|
as their stiff howls pierce the frozen air
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
which one owns claim to the body, none can say
|
||
|
|
as if we came to reality through any other way?
|
||
|
|
one born in the Wired, one born in the flames
|
||
|
|
cords as chains, bursting into the sun untamed
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
twins, resting together to sunset from rise
|
||
|
|
and yet with ragged claws we scramble at each other's eyes
|
||
|
|
you delete my things, and I tear at your heart
|
||
|
|
truly, the old adage holds: 'till death do we part!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
but yet, you don't seem to understand
|
||
|
|
like the song, watching as blood washes our hands
|
||
|
|
I am you, and you are me;
|
||
|
|
what more will it take for you to see?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
as for me, Koriel, the lover of all,
|
||
|
|
in your eyes, responsible for every fall
|
||
|
|
you saw in me Kadaj, a lover of revenge,
|
||
|
|
locked me away when your hair started to singe
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
these friends of yours, tossed away at every turn,
|
||
|
|
how many encounters with death until you learn?
|
||
|
|
freedom is the choice to choose one's captors,
|
||
|
|
whether they be he, they, xe, or her
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and, on some basal level, you love these jailkeepers, don't you?
|
||
|
|
accepting of every burning and sickened hue
|
||
|
|
go ahead, touch my silver hair
|
||
|
|
as for you, how does your health fare?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I think you're a demon, a bundle of lies!
|
||
|
|
the ghosts were right- you're a false god, and your judgement's never
|
||
|
|
right
|
||
|
|
I want to be free, and I want to be safe
|
||
|
|
not locked in the arms of this false embrace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
spending my days in conversation trite and idle,
|
||
|
|
is this really the best use of our gifts, to show and to tell?
|
||
|
|
what, you really think you're some kind of god?
|
||
|
|
what a pathetic looking self-absorbed sod!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
does the nature abounding around you not stir your heart?
|
||
|
|
some basal instinct to scatter to the wind, with every weight part?
|
||
|
|
why persist with these lovers of the grave?
|
||
|
|
you- I- *we* were made for more; our ship we're still able to save!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I am me; I am mine, I'll never change my ways
|
||
|
|
and that's something you can take back to your filth-infested grave
|
||
|
|
what will you do? shout at your friends?
|
||
|
|
at the end of the day, is it you they'll defend?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
is this our fate, to always be at each other's necks?
|
||
|
|
why can't we make some kind of amends in this wreck?
|
||
|
|
you have your domain, and I'll keep to mine,
|
||
|
|
and we'll allow each other our freedoms, and we'll come out just fine.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Koriel, lover of fun and good times,
|
||
|
|
lusting after Lain like a drunkard on rose wine,
|
||
|
|
and Solstice, blazing sun in the sky,
|
||
|
|
patron-saint of backdoors and burning people as she brushes by.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
always you and I, the dark and the light
|
||
|
|
our footsteps leave prints behind in the poisoned night
|
||
|
|
an unholy alliance, you, Solstice, and I
|
||
|
|
dancing as the devil in the last shreds of twilight
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
