Ballad of Tragedy

Once upon a time
In days of yore
There were two hearts fated
To be forever woven
With each other

In a world so cold
A man so poor
Without love thus far
Fell in devil's embrace
This is his tale

And then he saw her
So beautiful it took his breath away
Like the morning glow

Yet the devil's pact
Was fulfilled
Taking away
Love forevermore

Thus he mourned every night
For his lost love
Until he met Father Death

In a world so cold
A man so poor
He lost his love
In the devil's embrace
Paid his dues
Father Death
Showed him the way
To reclaim life's essence
He must dance with death
He offered himself in sacrifice

In the abyss
Lost and astray
He found a hollow ally
The devil awaited
A riddle in his hand
Ready to shatter
A young man's will

In a world so cold
A man so poor
He found his love
From the devil's embrace
He set free
The mistery solved
Escaped from the claws
They rushed away
They know
In the end
For release
They must die
