__________________________
I travelled all the way to Delphi
Only to hear something I already knew
Nonetheless, it made me drop to the floor
I traded all my golden coins
So the Pythia could tell me the truth about you
My heart sank in my chest
The Oracle spoke the words
They were hollow to my ears
You still love him, don't you?
Through the hallucinogenic fumes, I looked up
Her face was blank behind the veil
Like she didn't just drive me to madness
Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous
I know how our own hearts can betray us
But the rage in my chest chased away the desires
After everything that he has done
I promised I would protect you
Even when you're not mine
So I picked up a sword
Left there by broken souls
They didn't need it anymore
Their fight was over
Mine is just beginning
That is how I became a shadow
Lurking in the dark
Watching your every move
Waiting for you to speak your vain words
You may laugh
But the Pythia saw the determination in my eyes
Consider this a threat, I won't let you break her heart
