Visions come to his mind,
torture, pain and death,
disgraced monstrosity
plunged into madness.
Wandering without rest through cruel reality,
used as a waste.
There are only reminiscences
of the humanity that was taken from him.
His only love, a lie.
His only lethargy, death.
Only murder will purify his soul,
humiliation paid for in blood.
There will be no peace for the tortured inside
There will be no childhood for the helpless
Tragedy awaits under the blood moon
The bottom of the pond calls him to redeem himself,
Screaming over a dagger of guilt,
Drowning in the reddish depths
