• I am but a shell
    encasing a dragon
    whose fangs yearn for blood

    To bring hate, despair
    justice and wisdom
    for the dragon is my judge

    Burning my soul
    The dragon is very committed
    Because of pain wrought
    upon those I have wronged
    and outwitted

    Those who see me
    do not see me
    I am too truly bound

    my hopes, fears and beliefs
    keep me flightless
    on the ground

    If one day I do take flight
    On I'll fly into the night

    All shall be burnt black
    To my left
    And to my right

    Until I am forced into my shell
    I shall seduce you…
    …With my eyes of hell
