After the great battle was over

What in those stories they do not tell

Is that nothing was truly over

For this demon, condemned to hell

 

“You shall not seek power!”, oh what does he know

About how it is to dwell in the shadow

Loving indeed! banned for one mistake

The love shown to a witch on a stake

 

Do you think I wanted this?

Do you think I yearned?

For the flames and fire of hell?

Is this truly what I’ve earned?

 

Have you never stumbled, my listener

And did you never fall?

How do you proclaim me, piously

To be the foe of all?

 

For you there is a heaven

A land your master has made

For you he has forgiveness

For me he has only a blade

 

Am I not alive, do I not long?

For peace and prosperity of my own?

I lurk in the shadows and do what is wrong

And the pitiful sound that you hear in the night

 

Is a demon’s lament, is a demon’s song
