The Dark Escape
They follow me
wanting my blood to boil
due to a perverse innocence
Yet I kneel and scream
in the name of the forsaken
why am I the chosen one
Branded with the sign of the beast
I crawl through days
of bitter unhappiness
Can the new moon save me
does she have the power
to transform humanity
I am not alone
through punishment
and turmoil
Yet there is one way out
an exit that eludes me
the dark escape
