Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away
Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel
Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen

My brother. I tried so hard to save you but you let it all slip away. Your cause is beyond me, your mind impregnable. The foolish distance I put between us widens and I pray for the deliverance of your fall.
You have fallen far, and you're taking me with you.
Forget the creatures that stalk the night, they are the family of darkness and not my concern. Why don't you see this brother? Doesn't it look the same in the shallow glaze of your eyes?
Your so far away... can't you see what I mean?
Free yourself, kneel before the one who knows. Respect me, as I respect you, at least listen! Do not turn away from what you know to be the truth.
The pleasures of gold, silver and all things material, does that really drive you? Does that really make you a better person? What matters to you, this flickering life?
Don't use the light to blind others, that is not its purpose!
The sower soon shall reap, but what crop grows in the soil of your mind... what creeps through the trenches like the toxic gas of long ago?
Get through this pitch, throw out your arms and embrace the morning to come. Without you, my life is meaningless. I need you, why do you make that sword double edged?
Why does my love bring me to harm... is it because it is the love for you, that you do not want? I am not the toy you think I am, I am a friend to pull you from the pit you slip into.
Already the sulfur fills your senses, and the flames scratch at your feet.
Come with me! Now! I may not know better, but the truth is there for you to see!
Brother, attack the darkness. Stop extinguishing the hope that shields others, turn yourself around and fall into safety.
See past the camouflaged demon that has a hand-hold on your life.

* This is a very good story, but there are a LOT of errors, both gramatical AND spelling-wise in this story. I won't point them out because you don't like me to do that, but you should know
