And it comes. The demon has been named. At least the enemy is not invisible any more. Cccchhhk... .Daaamn!! And it strikes back.. Huh... Easy prey, yeah? I won't give up that bad... I won't give up!

[And now I look through my minds eye,
And see where my past needs to rest...]

Pain is the price to be. The price to live. And while it lasts, I can be sure the soul is still alive. Hiding somewhere deep inside from these beasts. I can only hope, it is safe back there.. RrrraH!!

[It's always disturbed by these voices,
That echo inside of my head..]

I'm not sure how long... How strong. I don't know. But I've seen its face. And that is already enough to carry on the fight. Hope somebody will notice. Somebody surely will. Fight for dignity... Or not? I don't have time to decide. From now on, time does not exist for me. Eternal fight...

[Another way that I can hide,
Another reason to crawl inside
And get away
From everything
And everywhere
And everyone...]

[NO!!!]

Hmm.. I'm starting to like it... Strange. The feeling of pain. And life. And those voices. I want to destroy them... Mmmm.. Anyway.
Don't come close to me. Don't touch me, cause I might not notice you. Don't risk your soul... Cause I don't have one now. And I'm desperately seeking for something to replace it. Don't make unnecessary sacrifices...

[Its all these demons haunting me,
Its all these little things trapped inside of me..
Releasing me from all my sin...!]

Blast. Flash. Darkness, then light again... Aaah, yes, I'm getting it now. Blood, flesh, fallen angels, risen devils... What comes next? Visions from the past.. Kiss..! It is painful... But... interesting.. Indeed... DAMN! Head is crashing..!

[It's taken me all of my anger,
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together...
Releasing the demons......]

[Again!]

But there is a reason, right..? Angel... Are you still with me..?
