The Prince seeks in the shadows each night
Drawing out his every last breath
In search of his loved one, and yet
She never is where he is
He knows he can’t have her
But he still searches and hopes
That maybe one day he’ll see her,
His only love again
In the shadows of the night
The Prince of Darkness waits for light
No love can be spared for him,
The one he loves is gone
His sorrow is maddening
His tears bitter and saddening
Because he knows no matter what
He cannot have her back
The pain tears apart his calm,
Terror and fear consume us all
His jaws of hate nip at our hearts
Infidelity and jealousy breed in our lust
The Prince he hates the lovers
The ones happy and laughing loud
So with his unforgiving cry
He turns love into pain
In the shadows of the night
The Prince of Darkness waits for light
But no love can be spared for him,
The one he loves is gone
But in the shadows of the night
The Prince of Darkness cries for light
Never will she come to him,
Forever will he cry.

I sure hope these were meant to be brand new pieces.

Wow, this is amazing! Such a sad story beautifully told, "But in the shadows of the night
The Prince of Darkness cries for light
Never will she come to him,
Forever will he cry." Mesmerizing! Congratulations on the gold!
