The stage was set for murder as death reached again for further A line was drawn on the day redemption slept And into the light a shade of rancor crept All... all save one As life became undone All save one The rising moon bathed in a shade of red as it gleamed its scorn on the still instead Only one lied awake, deprived of all and for what's sake for death had him barely raked Years fall as rain yet ignorance doth remain... All... all save one In the pale light of the Sun All save one "From hate arose my only passion With Death my one romance He was spared not of pity but that of mere chance"
