Temptation

A melody in my heart
A sirens song in my ears
Scattered stars and broken mountains
Water rushing to the peak
Joining the Game in person
Who can speak for me if not I?

Exploring the secrets of the world 
I wonder if my heart is ready 
Steady through trials and tricks
Making moves without regret


Finding life in desperate situations
Though my mind be clouded with siren song
Painting illusions of a fantastical scene
Success is often with struggle


I look to the bright moon 
Showing her face to a thousand hills and valleys. In her beauty hides the monster
A candle in the mirror reviews the path through the dark night 


A single thought to decide should I go or should I stay. A single candle holds my faith. To ascend to where I should be or fall in devils embrace 

A melody breaks my heart, a tune decides my bet. Nothing should be left to others, lest I regret


Finding freedom from the bind 
The game is won and my mind is mine.
