Shadow

Even as the shadow follows me

Into eternal doom as we walk together

Leave me, she shall the moment

The illuminating light disappears forever

Yet why is it that she considers me her own

Even when she knows that it is for naught

Seperate we will and must,

further pain to cause for her

Is it for loyalty to me she walks with me

And weep blood for me when I part

And what shall I consider of her

When I shall have to leave her in the light

For without one the other may die in sorrow

Yet sorrow is all we have in this happy world

O my Shadow, you complete my shattered profile

forever a memory in my mind, she who stood for me.

The Man in The Shadows

I am not meant to leave these shadows my child
I am not meant to leave these shadows my child
Forever thrown into the darkness of whatever hell was chosen for him
Forever in the shadow of whatever great man has come before him
In chains, hidden as a rabid monster might be from light
In chains, same as Hyde was kept hidden by Jekyll from light.

The Bull

As the shadows creep upon me
I see nothing behind me
The road ahead is lit like day
But I can't seem to find my way
Sudden as rain I am in chains
My hands, my neck and my body in pain
Driven as a bull by one after other
Always free from one to only reach another
One day finally I shall reach the end of this road
Only to understand that all I did was carry another's load.
