Disclaimer -- Eidos owns all Soul Reaver. But if they own all of Soul Reaver, and the Elder God eats souls, does that mean that they eventually will own all of our souls? Bastards...

Machinations of Fate

When everything is gambled
on the turn of a coin,
is fate left to pure chance,
or is there room to manipulate the toss?

Within relentless eternity, could the gambler,
focused in his immortality, discover
the means to turn the wrist and turn the coin
into a sword, whose edge may cut the universal cloth?

And might the gambler, thus so focused,
throw the coin too hard?
It strikes the floor and flies up
spinning again in the air
like the reflection of a thousand die.
