Listen "Potions for my soul"

Episode Synopsis

A story of deception, sadness and awakening told in a somewhat progressive form.

Masterfully selling potions and charms
Carefully picking herbs to fuel the harm
Pitiful creature born of spell and ash
Regret now stalks you, rising with the crash

Cleverly weaving symbols in the dust
Chanting the words with eyes so cold and just
Power through envy, drawn from cursed desire
And silence falls like smoke from hidden fire

Now the storm rises, breaking through your spell
Echoes will follow every step you tread
Chains forged in secrets drag you down to hell
The fire you sparked now burns the life you led

Did you believe the curse would miss your name?
The shadows wait, and always play their game
Even in masks, the guilt will find your face
Your soul was spent to win a hollow race

Masterfully selling potions in disguise
Carefully choosing how to spin the lies
Pitiful magic buried in your thread
Regret now haunts the things you left unsaid

Quietly carving sigils on the floor
Whispers of lies slip through a hidden door
Driven by hunger nothing could appease
Now all is still beneath the poisoned trees

Now the storm crashes through the lies you cast
Shadows awaken everywhere you tread
Whispers you buried echo from the past
The flame you fed now scorches all you fled

I sought the power, chased the cursed embrace
Intentions black beneath a borrowed grace
But you arrived and claimed what I had planned
And left me trapped inside the spell I’d manned

Now the storm howls beyond your broken veil
Footsteps are haunted by the words you bled
Truth wrapped in silence drags you down to fail
The fire you lit consumes the path you led

I never should have answered to your flame
A hunger drove me far beyond my name
Your beauty masked the venom in your soul
And now I wear its mark, no longer whole
