I have often denied myself my true destiny.

I have denied the darkness that is here.

I have denied evil's purity.

I wish to be forgiven for denying you and myself this most beautiful creation.

Lord of Darkness, if you're out there, please answer my prayer.

I need your presence, for you keep me whole.

Dark Lord, you are my strength when I am weak.

You are my heart, my world.

But today, I call out your name.

Do you hear me calling?

Lord of Darkness, if you can hear me, come to this, my cold and lonely lair.

I can't find the answers I'm searching for.

Hear the pleadings of my tortured, seeking soul.

Do you feel my pain?

I wish I knew you heard me...

I wish I knew you cared.

That you knew my inner hopes and dreams...

That you can hear my prayer.
