Once upon a time there was a boy With a golden heart Every day, time and again He went to a river, a cold stream Every time the sun scared the sky He took heart and stepped into the water As the water ran down, he swam upstream To reach the place where his hopes laid buried Again and again, the stream held him back After years of trying, he shed hope He gave up and went to an old tree Where he tied a rope around its branch With his head in the noose He started crying, screaming for salvation For someone to cut his rope " I begged for release and help to escape my cage I cried for only a shadow to stroke my soul Release me! " There was no shadow to stroke his soul No one to release him from his pain So he took heart a last time and released himself Suicide He chose suicide Now he sleeps tight in the realm of the fallen He died full of grief, his corpse left alone No salvation for the shining
