A Hero's Redemption (Chronicles of a Hero)
I have lost
Giving up has its blessings
While standing has its shortcomings
And life has its ups, downs, and turn arounds
I have been to the Dark Side
Observed your anguish apathetically
As you cried
Thinking about how I lied
I have been to the Dark Side
The side that has no moral
No goal
Nor greater cause
I have been to the Dark side
The side that never forgets
Sits triumphantly as you succumb,
To Malicious allure, and devilish wits
I have been to the Dark side
I have watch as your heart crashed into oblivion
As I refuse to be lugubrious with you
While you try to find something honest, something true
I know what in the Dark lies
And although you could not believe your eyes
I stood paralyzed
Trying to alleviate your cries
A Hero has retreated
A Hero has left
Residue to Resonate
Incubate, and Dissipate
A Hero has taken his emblem
Set it on the shelf
Because he lost his pride wandering
How could I redeem myself?
