This is about a prince who waged war against his father's tyranny.
There was a time
When I used to see the light of day.
Then, everything was gay.

center/Now, as I look back
I remember how she was killed.
I came to you for help
And what did you say?

You said it was good that she died,
That she was nothing but a horrible wretch.

That was when the world turned gray.
I lost all the power I had in me,
And became a lifeless skeleton
Begging to live.

But even though I was helpless,
I turned my back to you,
And left the life I once knew
In hopes of changing the world anew.

All my brothers and sisters,
I killed them all.
Except my dear little sister
Who truly loved me.

And now here I stand in front of thee,
Ready to take the life you don’t deserve.
As I pull your hair I look around
At the worlds of many others
Of which you have destroyed.

I also saw the sadness I have caused
In order to fulfill the justice I sought.
Then I realized,
That I have become a demon like you.

In sheer disgust I drew back my gun, knelt down,
And repented for all that I have done.

You stood up, you drew your blade,
And there and then you took my life away.

I awoke in a place that was void,
And I just kept drifting along.
And then I swore never again to be the man you were.
