Star Child

Constellations in my eyes; Windows they're said to be. Look into them now, and tell me what you see. Calling every angel born in Hell: "A child of the stars looking for his soul to sell. So few are left to be birthed of Orion's Belt." Soon they came; rulers of every layer. Each to make their offer, And leave their summoning prayer. "Centuries of wisdom, and a mind that holds no time. The past, present, and future are all close friends of mine, And the Titans of the Universe I stand so close behind." They opened all my wounds to taste how I have suffered, Shamed me for my scars and all that I've recovered. Then mocked me for my weakness, known only as 'The Lover'. "It is forbidden for us to deal a soul of the cosmos, And you taunt us for what you wish to sell. But we've found something in you to make us heroes down in Hell." You are protected by forces greater than your own. Should any God or Demon make you bow before him, Death would surely find his throne. It's your heart that we desire, and the love that you still hold. Grant us this purity and surely you'll have more than this world can hold. Let it be known that your heart is the heaviest to hold. Surely it is quite the burden to bear. So strange in it's nature, let us free you from it's wear. Success will quickly follow and embrace you in it's care." Yes! Take from me all that you desire! No longer will I suffer in it's muck and it's mire! Do with it what you will in the cold and the fire! With their prize, they left with no hesitation. Legion upon legion; Hells' United Nations. All for their Master and all in celebration. Lowly creatures is what they're cursed to be. They know me by many names, they know me by many faces. And my heart I've sold on every occasion. Fools! Surely they must know! That every heart I give away Brings me the love that stays.
