Sandria (Carry On)

So many years
I’ve walked alone
Throw my fate to the winds
Follow where they blow
I came to learn
What drives men to fight
The guilt haunts my every step
I have to make it right

So I walk the battlefields
There are many I can heal
Redemption for the lives he stole
In this war I play a role

Though the road is long
I must carry on
If I walked for centuries
There’s no escaping
The memories
The darkness conjured
In my name
Though I should not
Bear the blame
He killed them for me

Evil was all they saw in me
But only Marius could see
I’m not a freak, I’m not divine
I am his and he is mine
Our love has made us strong
The only place where we belong
But still I know...

Though the road is long
We must carry on
If we walked for centuries
I could not escape the memories
The darkness
Conjured in my name
Though I should not
Bear the blame
He killed them for me

But I could not escape my past
My brother tracked us down
At last
He killed hundreds in his path
And when he found us
We felt his wrath
I summoned forth a power
The loa in our darkest hour
The shadow rose
And took control
Merging with my lover's soul

The Shadow gave my love
The strength to fight
My brother defeated
We fled into the night
Though the road is long
We must carry on
But if we walked for centuries
I could not escape the memories
But can I justify the ends?
Have I brought evil here again?

I was desperate
I used my magic to summon the shadow Loa from exile
It bonded with Marius
Giving him the power to vanquish my twin brother
Sandria’s lover was the first shadowman
The Loa bonded with his family
And was passed from generation
To generation until this day
Jack grew up an orphan, knew nothing of this
Nothing of the Shadowman
Or that his own father was the host of the Loa
But that was about to change
Once he learned the truth he could never go back
