Once upon a time I knew I had a soul
And once upon a time I had it all
Everything, I had achieved my every goal
But I set one goal to high and began to fall..
I found myself slipping
From reality into a nightmare
I found myself gripping a ledge but still flipping
Backwards I fell into a darkness beyond anyone's care
I tried to find myself once more a time
But I had been falling for far too long (And my soul was for the taking)
I was sentenced to hell but had committed no crime
Then I realized I was singing a sinners song (Of my own making)
My greed had allowed me to take for granted
What I needed for more than once upon a time
I tried to take it all back but the sin had already been implanted
So there it was, that was my crime for which I am slime
If only I could just go back a day or a year
I'd change so much and yet so little
Maybe I'd shed one less tear or have one less fear
But it's too late as the devil in the background plays a sad fiddle
I guess my once upon a time was one time too many
There's nothing I can do now but accept (That my soul is for the taking)
What was, is, and will always sadly be for me
I've lost my one and only light to a dark evil adept (Of my own making)
