I had this dream--
That I rejoiced in the heat of
Blood and Death and Pain.
My many days devoted
To quench the fire
Threatening to consume my soul.
The wrath I delivered
Would never be equal to
The pain that wrenched my heart.
Wet red blood
Only seemed to add its heat,
And the fire would not be quenched.
Scars left by enemy hands,
Scars both seen and hidden within,
Defiantly refused to heal despite
The balm of the Hated Ones' destruction.
The price of blood
Would be paid in blood,
Until the last. Or maybe only until
I ended.
A far cry from heaven,
A welcome guest to hell,
A thousand thousand steps from home.
Walking on a road paved with bones
Alone.
Filled with a fear I could share with no one,
Empty of compassion....
I walked alone on my path of bones
An army with one warrior.
It seems to me that I awoke from this dream,
When I thought I was finally through.
Condemmed once more to try again,
I feel as though death's sweet release
Will be forever denied to one such as I.
I am told this is my second chance,
But for what--
I do not know.
Do I rise again, spear in hand
To repay the sorrows of the dead?
Must I again walk along the path of vengence,
With no comfort, no solace, no peace dwelling in my heavy heart?
Or can I turn away from this,
And be the man I always could have been?
I would like to believe in righteousness,
I want to know the goodness of man,
I want to be assured
Comforted
And given a place to rest
When the world becomes to much to bear.
I seek the sanctuary of the cool sweet woods.
A place to rest.
A place for quiet thoughts
To quell the war-drum beating in my chest.
Give me solace in your words,
Whisper in my ear
That it will be all right.
That I can turn my back
On the darkness within.
That I can follow you,
And take my place in the light.
Promise me you'll keep
My heart close to yours, safe.
For the night is long, and full of fear.
And I am so afraid of dreams.
Forever is such a long time
To be alone.
