The Grinning Man
A New Beginning
DEA
Don’t you understand, Father?
Even now, even now
You’re poisoned by the hole in his heart
URSUS
It wasn’t me who cut him
I hid the truth to help him
I wanted him to have a new start
DEA
You tried to steal my memory
The way you’ve stolen his
You’re poisoned by the hole in his heart
URSUS
My gift to my broken boy
Was a new beginning
I gave him a new beginning
A loving family
A family!
DEA
A family built on falsehood
Can’t be a loving family at all
You can’t build love out of lies
Because everything that lives in a love like that dies
