Why stand by the corner
Oh feint soul?
I hear your cries
Like a wounded lion
At my sight
You ran into the dark
Come out!
Come out!
Oh feint soul
I worketh thee not
I know your bitter laughter
Bitter laughs I hear
You seek retribution
You favour vengeance
Revenge your heart cries
Entangled in your bitterness
The shimmer of death
You seek
Forgive not
Oh feint heart
Forget not
Oh bitter soul
Seek not
Oh vengeful heart
I call to you
Shadow helper
Grief not
Alas
I grief
Yet I sorrow not
I plunge a knife
Your heart I pierce
Feint heart
But bitter soul
Vengeance I seek
Retribution my calling

Oh feint heart
