I wait
Alone...

You take away from me
I fight the fight, and never win...

This new addiction
This new affliction...

Why do you leave so soon
Why not dance under the pale moon...

The voices scream into my head
Telling me to destroy...

This letter is only for you
Meant only for your eyes...

Arise from the flames
From the crowd that shames...

Looking over the moon
An old man sees his fate...

Whisked away by one sight
Lost once again this night...

I. The Beast
The tale of my own cold heart shows the man alone...

Why do I think such thoughts?
When this face is so disfigured...

Dead to the earth
Removed from this life...
