Consciousness fading, Destrian's mind drifts in and out of the ethereal plane, allowing him to relive moments of his life. Overcome by grief, he recalls the pain that led him to his rise as the Shadow Stalker. In a moment of desperation, he musters all of his energy to make a final cry to Renalia, hoping that she will still accept him as the man she loved, not the man he has mercilessly become.
lyrics
Lost
I'm drifting endlessly
Reliving dreams of the man
That I used to be
Pain
Helped shape the destiny
Of who I am and the choice
That torments me
Drowning in a sea of sorrow
You reached out to take my hand
I want you to know
I gave into temptation
For a chance to save my soul
And fight for my salvation
I fell into the dark
Down a path I never knew
I paid the price of freedom
And lost my way from you
Hate
Has become reality
Just a pawn in this game
The truth unseen
Now we finally meet again
Can you accept me as I am
I want you to know
I gave into temptation
For a chance to save my soul
And fight for my salvation
I fell into the dark
Down a path I never knew
I paid the price of freedom
And lost my way from you
Oh I lost my way
I'm not alone
You've always been there when I needed you
It's all my fault
I couldn't keep you here with me
I'll carry on
Oh I should have been there through it all
Solo
I want you to know
I gave into temptation
For a chance to save my soul
And fight for my salvation
I fell into the dark
Down a path I never knew
I paid the price of freedom
And lost my way from you
