Like empathetic sand spilling from my grip,
My hand's desires have easily slipped away
If to defeat you, if to destroy you
Is why I was reborn, is why I live now
Your worth, and my worth
Will probably never be fulfilled
Connected to the prison of a skewed spiral
Sadness and misfortune are my only lot
Despair spins, round and round
Intoxicating my chosed ideals
Pathetically, helplessly, I cling to a feeling I won't admit
...I have no choice but to laugh, right?
The things I wanted to protect were long-lost
Why are we fighting? The answer's not clear
Once we dance in the ashes of burnt, fallen, revered justice
All my regret is killed
The spineless flower reaps
From a monochrome, sluggish world
Only the red produced by cold steel satisfies me
If to defeat you, if to destroy you
Is why I was made, is what I live for
My pathetic past, my futile future
Must not be sullied by muddy hypocrism
Running away from a worthless dream
Ridicule and misfortune are my only lot
The despair spins round and round
Twisting the ideals I've chosen for myself
I want to discard it, forget it, break it, bury it in the horrid feeling
...I have no choice but to laugh, right?
I destroy and keep destroying
But my heart is still not satisfied
Once I'm tainted in the ashes of the burnt, corrupted, revered justice
The muddy truth is lost
If to defeat each other, if to destroy each other
Is the reason we exist, is our destiny
The warm voices, the comforting hands
Will become lost forever
Running away from a worthless dream
Ridicule and sadness are my only lot
Despair spins, round and round
Intoxicating the ideals I've chosen for myself
Pathetically, helplessly, I cling to a feeling I won't admit
...I've had to lose it, right?
Our reasons to fight are all long-lost
So why we can't stop the fighting?
What clings to the ashes of fallen, corrupted, revered justice
...Is our existence's futility
Passionately swinging my staff, disconnecting from my mind
That is spinning round and round, attacked by the illusion of freedom
I want to break you, I want to save you, I can't forgive you, what are my true feelings?
...I can't even say
Who do I want to protect?
What do I want to destroy?
Until we and our clouded minds are mutually destroyed
Let's just end this, once and for all

Pathetic..... by that I mean so sad (pathos- greek. "sad").... only thing I can think of is the Within Temptation song "What Have You Done Now?", a fitting song for these once-lovers.
