The Dark Angel’s Lament

Wings of shadow, heart of shame
A man imprisoned by his pain
Chains of metal, chains of mind
Tied to the one he left behind
A corner of a dungeon, a palace in the sky
All are a prison to a tortured life
His shackles are something no one should bear
He knows his worries and his cares
But his ghosts will never let him be
‘Til all he sees is misery
Just like a fable of long lost love
No stars shine in his heaven above
But his story is true, and forever is eternity
His pain condemned him to this end
But the end is something he’ll never see
Once he flew the skies with pride, living the life of royalty
Now he walks the empty world alone, haunted by his memories
He doesn’t know where he went wrong, only now nothing’s right
The blood-red sun on a broken soul casts only a dead light
