We exist in separate worlds
For you who shines in the light
And I the lonely shadow
Who dwells in the night.

For you whose songs always shine
like the day so bright,
And I who should wallow in sorrow
Within the music of the night.

For you oh angel
bring hope to women and men,
And I a tarnished soul yearning
Only for a glimpse of heaven.

For I who dwell alone
With a bottomless void inside
Can never be found in the day
For in the shadows I shall reside.

For I a monster too hideous
To be seen or to be loved,
Can only pray and dream
Of the Angel from above.

Though I may sing
And play through the night,
My song may be sweet
Yet my face will only give you fright.

So look not upon this hideous face
For it is too much to bear,
For someone to love this beast
Can be found nowhere.

And so I say to you
If I would be so quaint,
How can such a demonic being
Ever be loved by a saint.

So leave me be in the dark
Let my heart be hollow,
Let me dream of her today
And then again tomorrow.
