Ode to the demon within

Encased inside that hellish tomb.

Cursed, chained, bound with bonds of doom.

A life to live, with only pain to give.

Only grief they offered, they watched me suffer.


For the fading light of a hopeless plight.

With a strength to muster, an endless fight.

Between the dark, throughout the night.

Wake to find a torture still,

damaged and forced, to watch them kill.


Born of fire, of rage and hell,

I hide myself, but can he tell?

Rage within..and rage without,

Spare him now? or live in doubt?


What hell will reign if I release this pain?

What sight, behold? if all is told?

Would I break in dark and hate?

Am I bound to Grendel fate..?
