One fatal flaw

I had smiled, in that instant.

I shouldn't if I want to live but the judge doesn't matter anymore

he never would, because if I go down so does he

with all the sunshine I've seen I haven't seen enough darkness

I'm supposed to answer the question

I was supposed to then

but for the love of the devil I never will

I'd snapped cursed him to death literally though

he'd smiled that wicked smile

I'm just tired of hiding the darkness, which has always been more than half of me

I pull on the ropes that hold me here a fatal mistake

he asks again, I don't reply I don't need to they already know what I am

who I am

although not why or how I am

we are a bad thing to the mortal world

they don't care about how many children's lives I've saved

just about the dark side of me

but they remember and they wont save the light that's left

actually they'll burn it away with the darkness

finally they give up, the fire is already set

Witch! witch! witch! witch! a chant in their mouths, but much deeper, in their souls

i smile in confirmation my gruesome smile

then I'm shoved onto the stake, pushed to the fire

they wait, to hear me cry for mercy, death is worse than burning though for me

I've sworn many things to the devil

laughed in so many villains faces, been to so many funerals

funerals that I caused, villains I made and shaped myself, the devil that I've become

death isn't enough to save me

I'm set on fire, so I laugh, because I'm now ready to walk away

from all the sorrow and pain I've felt and caused

so much, I laugh as the ropes smolder away

one fatal flaw. every medicine I've given is rotting in the blood

a curse formed by something worse than the devil himself

so I walk away, out of the fire

i stumble and fall, my powers are gone

everything is gone, but me

and the painful memories from before

death, I want to chose death over this

I throw myself back into the fire
