DEMON

I always thought life is a fairy tale. . . .
In the end the demon gets killed
The prince and the princess
Live happily ever after.

I have endured the bitterness of freezing winter
And the rage of the stormy night,
My bare body resisting
The fury of Mother Nature.

I always thought life is a fairy tale. . . .
In the end the demon gets killed
The prince and the princess
Live happily ever after.

The devil of the dark
Growled at me like a flash of lightning
Its bulging eyes fiery red
Wanting to devour every morsel of my meat.

I always thought life is a fairy tale . . . .
In the end the demon gets killed
The prince and the princess
Live happily ever after.

Amidst the most trying moments
I did not falter nor succumb to
The terror of the evil’s disguise,
Patient and steadfast I have been.

I always thought life is a fairy tale . . . .
In the end the demon gets killed
The prince and the princess
Live happily ever after.

But how long do I have to wait?
The stars have changed courses
Civilizations have grown and fallen
Time itself seems to have stopped.

I always thought life is a fairy tale. . . .
In the end the demon gets killed
The prince and the princess
Live happily ever after.

..........

At last life did turn out
To be a fairy tale
The prince and the princess lived happily ever after
But alas, I became the demon!
