Beauty of the beast

Ah, the sun is up again, time for me to retire...
For centuries, I have lived alone, fearing the fire...
This crystal castle being my home, my prison...
The fear trapping me in myself, it is my poison...


Lo, there is someone, someone at my gate...
Who is it, a traveller maybe, maybe a slayer...
My doubts never leave me, my doubts save me...
I had dreamt of this but, it was a nightmare...


Of a saviour to save me, to purge me of my sins...
A monster like me, cannot be saved, can only be slayed...
Slay me to purge my sins, slay me to make me human...
You who have trespassed on my castle, slay me today...


My slayer, my lover, my master, my saviour...
I cry again, pray why wont you touch me...
I am vile, I know, but your sword must kiss my neck...
For my sake, my love, slay me today, wont you...


Leaving me behind thus, with thy love...
you did not slay me, I await again for a fateful day...
When you love me more, love me enough...
To free me from my castle, my fears, my love...

Someday again.
