He was born in ice

Raised to hate

His heart grew cold, an icy barrier that shrouded his soul.

A journey begun, he walked into the shadows

Stabbed by the poison of hatred, lured by whispers of revenge

He faced the world behind a mask

The eloquent destroyer who sung of retribution for ills

He spun a dream of equality

And, in his blinding fervor, became a monster

A product of his world
