The power of darkness and its true purpose |
Why are you not normal? I have been asked outright It is a question that confuses me, it does not seem right What do you mean? I do not understand Is there such a thing as normal, can you describe it as best as you can? I have been told that I see only darkness That I see all that is bad That there is good all around me Why can’t I see any of that? You say you look at the sky, and normal people see blue, And all I see is gray and black and not a hint of blue You say you look at the sky, and normal people see light fluffy clouds fly by And all I see are storms and lighting, and anger in the air What is wrong with darkness, it is comforting in the dark I am its good friend; I have lived in the dark I asked my friend what is your purpose, why are you so dark Why do people fear you, why are you so black The darkness it told me, I am misunderstood by all who come near If only people could see, they would see the real me But I am twisted and turned, people do me so much wrong For I am a gentle warrior, fierce and relentless when I get aroused People come to me when they get lost and disorientated on their path Some people just only visit, for them, for them I come and go Some people live come with me, for them I’m a constant companion They are scared and lonely, in me they find comfort I envelop around you, I am a cloak, I am a guard I offer you protection, my shield, my strength and I am glad I work in the shadows, in the badlands, and in all the abyss This is my choice, my life, this is why I exist There are demons there are wraths, there is evil everywhere They are always snatching and clawing, they want you to succumb They strip away all that is good; they make you their slave Their own prince of darkness, they win and you grieve I protect you and I fight for you, I would make you so proud If only you could see the real me, you would feel oh so proud That I protect the despairing, the dejected and the distressed That I protect during your lifetime, with all understanding and love You have lived with me for a long time, you have seen me fight So many demons were after you; that I have seen your heart turn black I saw how they polluted you, I saw you full of disgust I saw the evil build up inside you; I saw that you almost burst When you were at your most hopeless the demons were most delighted, They had you ... and they were dragging you away To become one of them and you were most willing To inflict evil that was hideous and wicked, you had a poisonous and repulsive heart I saw a glimmer, a little kindling, a little shimmer in the dark I knew that I should battle for you; I knew I should drag you back You see that fire that burns in the night, is brighter than the day Only in the darkness can the hopeless call for help, only the down hearted can light such a spark For happiness is day, and sadness is night But how can you find happiness, if you have never experienced any pain The pain of living, of heartbreak, of cruelty and of love Truly understanding the darkness, makes you truly understand true love That is why the daylight sent you on my way; It felt your happiness was all a frown That deep inside you, was confusion, commotion, and turmoil, a desire to be normal What is it to be normal I hear you say Normal is darkness and light, guiding you on your way |
