|
Caught within the scenes of time the warrior wakes again to find |
|
A prologue set by twilight rays through the breaking dawn |
|
A dawn unlike no other dawn as backdrop to proscenium |
|
The cursed cycle starts anew |
|
Himself "cast" down as lead |
|
On his feet a legend and on his throne a lord |
|
Bathed in crimson glory so the centuries have foretold |
|
The advent of the day when pale untruths shall be no more |
|
Usurping the hands of |
|
Fate Now to leave the dismal place and setting eastward the course he takes |
|
Skirts alongside the stagnant pond whose waters swirl with taint [For]</i> |
|
Within the fetid mists and foul decay which on the natatorium lay |
|
The source of evils yet to be lie in wait |
|
Further east and all the while |
|
His grand design is planned |
|
Obscuration of the light <i>[when]</i> the balance is destroyed |
|
Ushering the epoch of the splendorous |
|
Unlight ":And so I set forth my mind resolute and might unchecked to rend my will upon the world. With centuries to prepare for the final battle and the glory that awaits in every drop of life:" |
|
Lust forever, lust for life, |
|
A lust Unmatched in human kind |
|
Fueled by such desires |
|
As may mold flesh to my want "Beauty as Might, and Might as Right" |
|
So seduced the lord |
|
From wanton whores the bloodsons came |
|
In legion issued forth |
|
Cursed for all eternity |
|
As seen by another also condemned |
|
Before the final blow is dealt |
|
What will be has been! : |
|
Too late the error revealed. |
|
The unparalleled pride of the ancient one now splintered through all the ages. |
|
With glory for one the ideal is lost, as is the war: |
|
Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars |
|
Arrogance in the sons that |
|
I was fated to ignore |
|
For a greater lust that by design will never sate |
|
An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate |
|
A pause to look upon the world before |
|
I am reborn : |
|
A brilliant flash of light and the |
|
One Great |
|
Truth revealed |
|
The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate is again wiped clean |
|
Where one time ends, another begins |
|
Caught within the scenes of |
|
Time: |
