In this dark castle In a darkened forest I’m living since I remember Knowing others and the sunlight Only from ancient books One day I climb to the top of the tower There I discovered the world of light With friendly ghouls I ride Through the nightly skies At day I play Under sinister trees A familiar castle in front of me Through a window I see other people They flee from my appearance What are they so afraid of ? A monster in the mirror I touched its crippled hand Now it’s all clear to me Nepenthe balm my cosmic fear The day it all came back The day I touched the cold, hard, polished glass
