The evil men do lives after them.  
To the future, sorrow is what they leave.  
Is this the reflection of who I am?  
Is this how I want to be remembered—  
A shadow tangled in tomorrow’s grief?

With the burden of anticipation,  
I create chaos from the clay of today.  
Can time’s projection heal yesterday’s wounds?  
Or am I carving scars deeper,  
Passing down sorrow as legacy?

Can I shape a tomorrow  
That outgrows the mistakes of time?  
Is there a way for my guilt  
To find a home in forgiveness—  
A place to settle, at last?

Have I left for those who follow  
Only the evil I do?  
Are they doomed to this path of sorrow,  
Or can the cycle break—  
Is the evil we do truly who we are?
