Forever unsleeping, unliving, undead,
Cursed with the pathway to hell he must tread.
Inhuman as ever, more human than most
Never a person, but only a host.
Feared by the children, pursued by the beast,
Creating the blood and flesh on which he feasts.
More understanding, understood by none;
Creature of shadows, cut off from the sun.
Weaker than everyone, stronger than all,
Walking a thin line, refusing to fall.
Kissed by the darkness, forever its own,
Friends dead around him, forever alone.
Nameless and haunted, broken by life,
Destroying and killing, the bringer of strife.
Unwanted by those he saves, outcast of death,
A thousand times murdered, but still drawing breath.
Blackened by destiny, yearning for light,
Doomed to eternally struggle the night.
Impossible tested, his way never done,
An ogre indeed, and truly human.
Eternity's lost child, weeper in blood,
Born of the dead at the end of the road.
Always self-loathing, hating his hate,
The holder of Heaven, and guard of Hell's gate.
Cursed with the pathway to hell he must tread.
Inhuman as ever, more human than most
Never a person, but only a host.
Feared by the children, pursued by the beast,
Creating the blood and flesh on which he feasts.
More understanding, understood by none;
Creature of shadows, cut off from the sun.
Weaker than everyone, stronger than all,
Walking a thin line, refusing to fall.
Kissed by the darkness, forever its own,
Friends dead around him, forever alone.
Nameless and haunted, broken by life,
Destroying and killing, the bringer of strife.
Unwanted by those he saves, outcast of death,
A thousand times murdered, but still drawing breath.
Blackened by destiny, yearning for light,
Doomed to eternally struggle the night.
Impossible tested, his way never done,
An ogre indeed, and truly human.
Eternity's lost child, weeper in blood,
Born of the dead at the end of the road.
Always self-loathing, hating his hate,
The holder of Heaven, and guard of Hell's gate.
