Costumes though they be many
A changeling you will never be
Your world is that
Of shadows and ghosts
Bearing down upon you
Revenges weight
Of hearts blood spilled
In rivulets of red
Sadness and fear
A shadows tear
Laid low
Forced to bow and kneel
Greediness
Your king
Took your hand and led
You followed blindly
As the dark ones began to sing
Now you regret
Deeds without thought
In the web of deciet
The souls you caught
Bitterness replaced the need of covet
The rewards of cruelty
Lives laid to waste
Sipping the wine
Turned to vinegar
How do you like its taste
Voices of the shadows dripping sweet with promises
It will be the sounds that take root in your mind
Now full of coin you have attained the status sought
How truly little you have gained
So shall your life
Pass through hells gate
The game is over
The shadows await
