For better or worse this is our world. Not the end of life and not the beginning, either. Just different. We live in the light because society tells us to. But we are all children of the dark. Laws are the only thing that separete us from savagery. Because the beast is there inside all of us, watching.... waiting.When civilization is no longer there to protect us, when the beast is the only thing standing between us and death,we will absolutely fight tooth and nail to survive.
A veneer of civility hides our true self-interests. Its the nature of our world, yes? I say that civilization is an illusion, a game of pretend what is real is the fact that we are still animals, driven by primal instincts. All i am saying is that civilization crumbles whenever we need it most In the right situation we are all capable of the most terrible crimes. To imagine a world where this was not so... where every crisis did not result in new atrocities... where every newspapper is not full of war and violence...well, this is to imagine a world where human beings cease to be human.

Thoughts (I d) Dark Knight
Solitude (Lyrics by CANDLEMASS)
I'm sitting here alone in darkness
Waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come
Death means just life
Please let me die in Solitude
Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in Solitude

Some monologues that infest my mind...
Batman (Dark Knight)
- Gotham needs its true hero.
- No.
- You either die a hero... ...or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. I can do those things... because I'm not a hero, not like Dent. I killed those people. That's what I can be.
- No, no, you can't. You're not.
- I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call it in.
- A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed. Nothing less than a knight... shining. They'll hunt you.
- You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me. Set the dogs on me. Because that's what needs to happen. Because sometimes... the truth isn 't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
- Because we have to chase him. Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him... because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian..a watchful protector. A dark knight.
Spider-Man
- You and I are not so different.
- I'm not like you. You're a murderer.
- Well, to each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more than a hero... is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you. Why bother?
- Because it's right.
- Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city. And those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose...of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You, me... we're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now. But I'm offering you a choice. Join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together. What we could create. Or we could destroy. Cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle... again and again and again until we're both dead. Is that what you want? Think about it, hero. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you.
...
- Goblin, what have you done?
- Spider-Man! This is why only fools are heroes. Because you never know... when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice: Let die the woman you love... or suffer the little children. Make your choice, Spider-Man...and see how a hero is rewarded.
- Don't do it, Goblin!
- We are who we choose to be. Now, choose!

Die Apokalyptischen Reiter
This is the end - life will pass away - tomorrow I will die
Eternity betrayed me again - it is a bitter lie.
Mother earth - thanks for your love and the pain.
I don't turn around because I will sometime return again.
I'm sitting here alone in darkness
Waiting to be free
Lonely and forlorn I am crying
I long for my time to come
Death means just life
Please let me die in Solitude
Hate is my only friend
Pain is my father
Torment is delight to me
Death is my sanctuary
I seek it with pleasure
Please let me die in Solitude
