Despair is all I feel, all I see is red

Return from council, left perplexed

The night began with such promise, I couldn't lose

But the council chose this fate, my words have fallen on deaf ears

Back from the trek in the treacherous wild, secrets are being spilled

The sacrifice showed who's in control and where all loyalties lie

I cannot understand why the council has chose this fate

But now she's gone and I'm left confused

I can't believe her actions, I've been betrayed

She turned her back on me, I know I've been betrayed

My closest ally in this world, I've been betrayed

Now hope that no one else turns, I've been betrayed

Falling, drifting

Future looking bleaker

Need to regroup

To find a new footing

Relying on the people that I once trusted

Has set me up to go through hell

If there's a chance I make it through one more council

I must pray myself to sleep and hope they're on my side

He could be next to go

As the sacrifice, the next victim

Insurmountable odds stacked against him

His torch is sure to be snuffed

I'm broken down, it's brutal

With this emotional turmoil

But if I wake up the next day

It's a brand new start
