Behind the Smile

Painful memories of my dying past
Hiding this from a long while
Painful memories of my undying present
Hiding this behind a smile

To save me from the endless pain
A sacrifice was done in front of me
Nothing from being used will be of a gain
Giving into another identity I came to be

Under my endless curse, coming with a purpose
Behind my physical light, my actions were dark
To take a stronger life without any remorse
And to destroy a world, my magic will make them part

Standing in front of a lonely and distant king
Never noticing his hidden past desire for killing
Going into changes by taking me under his wing
Teaching me on how to smile, this was our new willing

And just when I thought I was really saved
The inevitable call of destiny arrived upon me
Steady calm before raging storms, I must be braved
As a new role of destiny was bestowed upon me

Placing my king through an underground, eternal sleep
A creation from my magic became your new wing
Hoping good dreams will forever be in your keep
Behind the silent smile, I'll run away from this king

Wanting and longing to be away from my known world
Hiding the sins of my past, hiding them behind the smile
Traveling and entering into each new and unknown world
The sins behind my life, never to be erased for a long while

Save me from my painful memories behind the lying smile
Begging and pleading to my new travelers of time
Find me a way on breaking free with a new and truthful smile
Hoping the sinful curse of my life be eternally gone in time

Protecting and protected by my travelers of time
Will never refer them as pawns, never address by an evil name
It can be assured this will not become my sinful crime
Through one's final revenge, this will be the end to an evil game

Because I was given different kinds of love, this became my new way
Knowing the journey of my life will forever be my guide
New worlds I travel eternally, each world becomes my brand new day
And living with a renewed purpose, beyond a smile shall forever be mine
