Chapter 3 - 3: The Lie

Why oh why

Is there a glare in your eye?

Oh why oh why

Did I have to lie?

***

It's warm and damp inside

And the air puffs my cheek

And that subtle growling cry

As I stand beneath the smoldering eye

***

As I stand beneath the smoldering eye

Which burns on me and cries

And I hear you shout with your tremendous maw

"Why did you have to lie!?"

***

Why oh why

Is there a glare in your eye?

Oh why oh why

Did I have to lie?

***

As I stand beneath your smoldering eye

Let me brush your matted black fur

Please, let me atone this lie

I'd give you an arm to ease your cry

***

I'd give you an arm to ease your cry

To soothe the burn in your smoldering eye

To touch your tongue one final time

But all is vain to atone this lie

***

Why oh why

Is there a glare in your eye?

Oh why oh why

Did I have to lie?

***

Did I have to lie

I wonder and ponder?

Did I have to lie and make you cry?

To my Brother instead should I have lied?

***

To my Brother instead should I have lied?

Is there no escape, no way to defy?

What dreadful Fate has forced this strife

And why did I have to lie?

***

Why oh why

Is there a glare in your eye?

Oh why oh why

Did I have to lie?

***

Close your jaws on my arm and my lie

Cut the sin, but please don't cry

No need to suffer, it's not yet time to die

As I stand here now beneath your eye

***

As I stand here now beneath your eye

No need for it to smolder, to cry

No need for your tears to ooze and to cry

I love you Fen'rir, and it's not yet time die

***

Why oh why

Is there a glare in your eye?

Oh why oh why

Did I have to lie?
