My five-year scar still burns intense with pain,
my soul remains a tattered deformed beast
whose journeys are told throughout the west and east
and still I lead a normal life in vain.
I know that western place where my innocence was slain,
wherein my faith in God was smashed and ceased
to be my guide as guilt and pain increased
and I received my own hateful disdain.
But now I trust and have again my faith,
and so I'll try to be a righteous man.
But still the painful worries attack and scathe
my lowly soul that from God's kindness ran.
And so my life goes on and still I fight
against the waves of my past stormy night.

"If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"
-- Magus
"there is no good and evil, there are just sides."
-- Local Parasite
