The horrors that exist
Are not inventions, mine
I wanted you to see
The Dark’s as old as time
Didn’t mean to make you cry
Never wanted you to die
I only wanted truth
You could only live with lies
I only brought the light
The Dark’s always inside
I only brought the light
It was you who chose to hide
You never understood the Dark
Was here and all around
Always a blink away
All that could be found
You never understood the Good
The darkness could belie
When there you saw yourself
That good did you deny
You railed against your image
Wrought by light and shame
The one you wanted hidden
Lest you shoulder all the Blame
But the Blame was mine to hold
My curse to light it all
To strip the blinds of faith
To help the truth grow tall
