Deliver me from this darkness that has captured me.
Save me from the creature I have become.
Bring me out into the light and make me yours.
Show me to the world as your creation.
Be proud of me, love me.
I belong only to you, my creator.
Piece together, once more, the mirror that was shattered.
And see me as you see yourself.
Unbroken and free from the chains of sin and sorrow.
You are the key to the mysteries you cannot explain.
Remember me as I once was.
And together we can overcome the lies and treachery of the past.
You only must believe and look within the mirror.
For when you look upon my face,
you look upon your own.
