I look upon your still face one final time,
Your empty eyes, locked in a stare,
Cold, waxen hands forever clasping
Each other in a final plea for mercy
It had pained me to do it, and I will never
Truly forgive myself for the evil things I've done
But it was something I had to do;
I had no choice
Now, my love, you feel no more pain,
Shed no more tears, spill no more blood
No longer shall we be together,
Two souls locked as one in the union of love
I couldn't let you suffer any more,
I knew what he'd do if he found you;
Even if you didn't, I couldn't let you go through that,
And I can only pray that you'll ever forgive me
You were always a forgiving soul,
You cared about me; that was a first
You didn't mock me for my ways
As _they_ did
Society is evil, I've always known
I had to protect you from their talons
I would never want you to be hurt again
By anyone
Blood and tears soak the earth,
And two souls leave this plain tonight
A final phrase, a final word
Echoes through this long, cold night
