In shadows deep, where darkness reigns
A child of elders, but wild in chains.
Raised by grandparents, pillars of light
But I chose darkness, embraced the night.
A path of fury, a life of sin
Each step I took, dug deeper in.
Regret like venom, coursing through
For every deed, my soul withdrew.
Raised by the wise, but I chose the black
Falling into a void, no turning back.
Hating what I'd become, the deeds I'd done
In the abyss, my heart was overrun.
A path of fury, a life of sin
Each step I took, dug deeper in.
Regret like venom, coursing through
For every deed, my soul withdrew.
Raised by the wise, but I chose the black
Falling into a void, no turning back.
Hating what I'd become, the deeds I'd done
In the abyss, my heart was overrun.
With gnashing teeth and crimson skies
I sought escape, beneath moon's guise.
A soldier's call, a desperate plea
To flee the grip of what I couldn't see.
Gulf War's fury, a tempest roar,
In sands of chaos, I sought for more.
But in the battle's rage, I found my fate
Injured and broken, a soldier's state.
Raised by the wise, but I chose the black
Falling into a void, no turning back.
Hating what I'd become, the deeds I'd done
In the abyss, my heart was overrun.
A life of pain, a price to pay
For wicked ways, in disarray.
Beneath the scars, a soul does weep
In shadows deep, my secrets keep.
In haunted silence, my spirit bled
Memories like ghosts that filled my head.
With every scar, a story told
Of battles fought and fires grown cold.
Yet in the ashes, a flicker remained
A spark of hope, through darkness gained.
A chance to rise, to fight once more
To find new life on a foreign shore.
Raised by the wise, but I chose the black
Falling into a void, no turning back.
Hating what I'd become, the deeds I'd done
In the abyss, my heart was overrun.
And now I walk with shadows past
A scarred redemption, built to last.
For though I've strayed from light's embrace
I seek my peace in this darkened place.
A heavy burden, I bear each day,
For the path I chose, the price I pay.
