---Death's Gift---
The wishes and shadows of his Father
Dance violently within his pride-filled eyes
A hollow tempest of gluttony
Nobility gives way
To reckless obsession
As Isildur's treacherous heart
Beats once more
Duty and Madness
Bleed into one another
The agony of a morality uncertain
Desire seduces him
And conceives unholy Betrayal
Remorse steals his breath
And he is submerged
The murky waters of bitter regret
Suffocate him slowly
But precious air he breathes once more:
Repentance through Valour
Revives his weeping soul
A tainted past
Now pure as the songs of Lothlorien
A troubled mind
Now serene as the orchards of Rivendell
A doubting heart
Now strong as the White Tree
Of his beloved home
Martyred:
Petals of redemption
Fall upon him in death
A gift now given
In return
