I need to end my known existence,
cast myself upon the waters and lay listless
throw myself into the winds and say what is this
this is no life for me.

I went into the woods to find some solace
looked into my heart and found it torn with malice
once it brimmed and filled as a golden chalice
now there's only pain.

I want to walk away and greet the dawning
hit the open road and walk til morning
touch the flames again so bound with yearning
see as the light breaks.

But the darkness wraps around me
holds me close, my eyes in searching cannot see
deep in my heart I am longing to be free
to step into the road again.

I just want to watch the waters as they close in
take just one deep breath, enact the final sin
sing the song of death as I say goodbye to him
but that's the easy way.

See me as I move within my weakness
daughter of the night that walks in darkness
stands upon the world each beat my heart hits
my card, a hanged fool.
