Terror's Flame

A burning tavern is behind me,

Death's stench is on the wind.

I can't recall what has occurred,

But I know that I have sinned.

A man has come to follow,

Travelling at my side.

It feels like I'm in a dream,

Like my mind's been crucified.

My mouth I open to convene,

But I find I cannot talk.

I try to slow, I try to stop,

But all I can do is walk.

Fear's whispers are in my mind,

Blackened is my heart.

Still towards the east I trudge,

As my will, it falls apart.

Where lies my destination?

Where ends this misery?

What lies beyond the mountains cold,

What is my destiny?

Terror takes me forward,

This fear I cannot fight.

I've spread hatred and destruction,

In the depths of terror's night.
