So overwhelming the trees appear
To me, eternally rest in fear
The sky, gray, cold of endless rain
Cursed me all over this shallow plain
Darkness' surrounding me
Please blood now stop your rush
I'm way beyond my salvation
All hope is lost
I spread my blackened wings, entangled in sin
The face of darkness where all forever will sink
My body rests in the dark of that cold tower cell
My soul breath's like a pest growing inside me
My world has turned to ashes, now
It's crumbling with my mind
The poison within my horizon's spreading deadly
Bodies surrounding me
Their blood to quench my thirst
Devouring my final meal now
My time has come
More than pain, it was the blinding hunger
that guided my trembling hands on
that dreadful day, my last one.
Massive and fierce those mountains
Watching the winds' last gathering
So weak I can just prostrate
And set before the sun itself
The hunger's finally gone
Faded within their last breath
Abomination's my name
I can't avoid that
(Who am I?)
I'm in this tower alone
Surrounded by my regret
They will remember my name
Traitor of my race
My world's this frozen river now (I can't just forget)
Bound here by my bites
I couldn't stand the hunger so I just ate them
(for every bite I was condemned forever)
