Dark Souls

A world grey

Lives touched by rain

One's blade will never stay

And many look upon each other with disdain.

Each life is a tragedy

Each person a visage of pain

Many lose their sanity

And still people come to seek their fame.

Monsters unbeatable

Huge pillars of strength all

Most find them insurmountable

For you, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Death is numbing

You think your life is over, you are wrong.

Life is fleeting

Yet ever long

Each piece of light

Each shred of good

Crushed under might

Burned into soot

The darkness grows

Its tendrils stretching far

Creating more foes

And smothering every star

Nothing left for you

The situation severe

The only thing to do

Is to persevere

You have finally won

You have proven to be the best

Now you can finally rest in the sun

But remember, in dark souls, there is always a bigger test.
