Silent moon is witness
            As she stares into the water
            Regret and sorrow fight their duel
            In her heart, these things are cruel
            And though she knows 
            It does not matter
            She has come to seek forgiveness
            

            Lost in the shroud 
            Of her perceptions
            She kneels, head bowed in prayer
            And her soul opens 
            Layer by layer
            Exposing all of her deceptions
            

            What lies beneath 
            Makes her weep
            For once she thought 
            Herself so fair
            But now she seeks 
            The moon's embrace
            In hopes its coldness can erase
            Her bitter musings from the air
            Until silence does bequeath 
            The final sleep
            

            Attractive is the coward's choice
            Oh! goodnight sweet child of pain
            Foolish you are to die in vain
            Tragic, to murder your own voice
