Analysis of Dark Soul
When a heart as shallow as mine
Can only make thou so divine
My thoughts know no limit of cruelty
But you can't see the real me
Who I cast my doomed shadow on
Even with those I have a close bond
My past, it lingers
And words of water slip through my fingers
The opening in Hell which my soul came
And the beast within could not be tame
If only I could condem this curse
How do I implore the worse
People tell me to live in the present
To think nothing happened
And everything is happy pleasant
Why do people believe what they hear
How do people have meaningless tears?
If they could see their true reflection
All the human destruction
I am aware of the past beyond
Chaotic malices that have dawned
The shadow of every man and their doings
To make the world better is what my soul is pursuing
