Hero's Lament
Fate brings halt as heroes clash within the chasm of need,
Fighting, surviving the very demons of creed.
The existence of time permits the very end
While the endowment of truth makes its ascend.
But as the beast plummets down to rest,
Deception rears out from a comrade he holds best.
With grace and fraud, he flew towards his somber end;
The hero's mind cursed to never fully mend.
With each crossing gives rise to the taste of light,
Bestowing a farewell howl aimlessly in the dark.
Yet a severance doom provokes this final fight,
And a hero dies young, clutching his living mark.
Remember him as this before he blends with the abyss.
With each trial, not one fight swayed the will to live,
For love's delight was far too great a price to give.
So remember him this: a soldier who hid his desolation with bliss.
And so we'll keep these memories with a constant yearn,
For even if this world is dimmed of its saviors, one life legacy will constantly burn.
