Within darkness it came,
Far too soon,
It took from me the light,
The shadows-
The vision of happiness gone,
Cut from me,
Torn.

The wounds came, unrelenting.
He is, lost, forlorn,
My son, yet not.
Love felt,
Tears come,
Once more helpless, caught,
Lost and alone.
He is, filled with scorn
Lost but not - the truth
It kept me sane
Made me try,
To help him, to protect him.

Blood drains still
My eyes ache, my heart yearns
Her face, her last cry
Oh how it burns
Avenge me, mighty one
Do your father proud,
Give not into darkness
Let this not be in vain,
Undo this horrible shroud.

It's cold, like ice,
It hurts but a little.
Tears fall,
Let them help you,
Remember me
Learn from me,
Be better than him
Let love be your shield
Let the wand betray him.

It's dark, I'm spent
My hopes are high
I will be free,
Be with her at last,
My last wish
My dream
Be sure it is done
For you are the chosen one.
