I keep climbing and climbing this long staircase
As my doubts fester in my mind,
The Vileness in my body grows with them
"When will I be able to return?"
The Archangel sadly replied
"You must conquer yourself if you hope to return."
I remember seeing a boy from a poor family
He was holding a sword much too big for him
The poor youth cried,
As he fought for his family's life
So many people were hungry
Was it wrong if that Tower provided food?
"Remember that the price was their souls."
The Archangel said.
I keep climbing, climbing this staircase
My poor mind
Cannot rid itself of doubts or Vileness
"Please tell me how I can overcome them."
According to the Archangel,
"Remember that in the long-term, this would not have helped."
I saw a good friend from the past
The crowd cheered as they watched him dance
Even though he's voiceless, humans love him,
And he loves them in return
I'm the one who fueled his admiration,
I caused him to fall
"In the end, it was his choice."
As Michael spoke, I snapped out of my thoughts
And shed a tear
I keep rising up this staircase
And even though I want to be purged,
My doubts can't be banished
"Please, tell me how Earth is doing right now."
According to the Archangel,
"Ishtar has taken up your fight."
My task was to capture the Watchers and spare the world from a flood
While it was nice that Ishtar was helping me out,
There was no way I could let her fight alone, not when it was my task
I hope that my friend and those people can forgive me someday,
But for now,
Ishtar needs help
So I'll help her out and complete my mission
And just like that, instantly,
The Vileness melts away
