It's been a while
Since I have planned
My own exile
In this unknown land

The world spat me in the face
The devil licked my wounds
We both against the human race
And scorch the fields around

She offered satisfaction
I offered prey
What's this abomination
For forgiveness I prayed

I warmed up to these beings
But still I resent and doubt
Conflicted with my feeling
My ego and dignity, my thoughts

To devil I sacrificed
Those who I loved and respect
Although really no one died
Still I'm a jerk with twisted head

So I decide I have to leave
When I see bite marks on his skin
For what I did, I do grieve
The angel inside died for my sin

We're both broken creatures
But reached two different paths
For them you're a teacher
When I built hell with bitter past

You brought me home to Father
I pinned you by the gate
And tear your wings like paper
The depths of hell is my fate

Days I have been gone
Yet shadows of you remain
When I found another one
The cycle repeats, it's all the same

There's no more use in running
You and the devil would remain
One gives comfort, the other killing
I can't escape, I understand

Before I left you grabbed my hand
And said the fault isn't mine
Your brutal scars, I can't stand
I let you go so you can shine

Now I am on my own
With no victims to offer
But really, I've let her won
It will repeat when I found another

Sleepless days on the run
Like a fox chased by hounds
Safer indeed, but it's no fun
When my angel isn't around

I miss the days you sang to me
Your voice echoes in my head
I'm the one who could set me free
From my dark master's threat

So I'm coming back
Still broken and flawed
But my sight no more pitch black
I'm not the so called outlaw

The devil and I aren't one
My vision blurred told me otherwise
I thought that she had won
I am her equal, in my eyes

But the angels came
They restored my sight
With their holy flames
And helped me throught the night

I'm still broken and frail
Not renewed, rebirthed or saved
But all along, I had the Holy Grail
And heaven's golden wave

I may repeat the same mistakes
But sick of running away from you
We may be stained and break
But I'll try anything I can do

Now, I will return
To the face I called home
I may have some concern
But with faith, I could rebuild Rome

I want you here for days to come
Not like before, but as my mentor
And the devil, banished to the sun
Many times I fall, but giving up never
