Sta.sh
When I opened my eyes, darkness met my sight
An empty pitch black devoid of all warmth and light
Not a thing could be seen, not a thing could be heard
I was all alone left shivering in the cold
When I looked carefully, through the void I could see
the edges of an opening looming above me
From there came a voice sounding like the dead
In a familiar haunting tone, to me, it said:
"Sinful child, in this darkness you will stay
Servant of evil, here you will spend your days
Never again will the light shine upon your way"
In a flash of pain and regret, every single memory returned
Separation, pain and blood, and a kingdom crushed and burned
Because of pride and my selfish wish, that destruction was my crime
And the gravest of my sins was not knowing better at the time
Chains of red, fastened on my wrists, would bind my arms for eternity
Surely the same scarlet hue as the blood spilled because of me and
On my ankles were chains of blue, the color of someone’s tears
Cries of anger and despair would keep me here for countless years
"Ru ri ra ru ri ra" echoed a sorrowful lullaby
A beautiful tune sang as someone bitterly cried
As I sat in the dark, the voice rang on and on
Keeping me company with its sad song
The cold ebbed away and I took a deep breath
As if the lullaby had saved me from death
And as time passed I heard more than a melody
The words of the lullaby slowly reached me
It was a desperate wish, a message of regret
A vow to keep a promise, to never forget
A shining light cut through the dark abyss
Small, but radiating with the warmth I had missed
Then I heard your desperate plea
The message you sent finally reached me
And like before, the voice spoke again, no longer ringing like the dead
In a soft but chiding tone, from above, to me it said:
"While your sins were a grave crime, you must keep your most sacred vow
You have lived in cold and darkness for far too long, and so now..."
Suddenly, the red chains snap off and my arms are freed at last
The blue shackles on my ankles break off and finally I can stand
"You will be reborn into the light, someone has been waiting for you
Your wishes have been granted, happy re-birthday to you"
And at last, the wish I made long ago will finally come true
When I wake into the light, I will be with you
