Divided by Malice

Slechtvalk
I lie in this darkness with tears in my eyes.
I weep in silence, but in my heart I scream.
The path that I must take, it breaks my heart:
I fear I'll never see my love again.
I saw the hunger in his eyes
as he dragged her away,
the beast that had betrayed me.
Oh, how I hate him!
Seconds lasted for ages,
did I just hear her scream?
He'll know the meaning of pain
when I am done with him.
Torn by grief, I was left for dead,
and for a moment I was.
I followed their steps through the wilderness,
determined to take back what is mine.
I wandered the earth driven by grief
until I finally tracked them down.
I was shocked when I saw
a glimpse of her bruised face;
all the love she had for me,
he had beaten it out.
I could feel the fire of vengeance
burn in my heart.
When I saw her lips kissing his,
I could not restrain myself.
I only saw the fear in his eyes
as I tightened my grip.
He thought he had killed me,
but now I stood before him.
I drew my blade to cut this bastard down,
but my arm was held back by a familiar hand.
Instead of killing him, I cut off his thumbs:
no longer will he wield the sword
against my sons.
I would have killed him
if she didn't believe his lies,
but he will live down in shame
'til the day he dies.
And now I had my first vengeance,
I must hold off the storm
before I find myself a way
to win back her love for me.
