Bete Noire Lyrics

Once a beast... upon the earth unleashed as the soul of all their fears Yet a brief distraction was enough, the scale was roughed all is now clear

Cast down among the sullen to pits of dark descend Where nought greets the fallen and life but awaits its end

Regrets, I have one The point it all begun The second I believed I could be more...

more than my share now so aware more than my share bete noire

Once deceased... the scale will be again released and as if I never were The gleam of light will fade as tolls are paid for who said the world was fair
All for a thought to see her among the lost a tale will end Where death greets the dreamer and all ties to life transcend

Now left to grind this heart At the closure of this part Is to know I was of those who never stood a chance...

more than my share deadly aware more than my share bete noire

and the tearful flower fades from my palm...
