Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver- The Rhyming
The Beginning
In the world of Nosgoth where vampires reside
We're led by a king in whom few can confide
The overlord Kain has a cold iron fist
Struck down by his hand are the ones who resist
I live in a world of death and decay
Because of a choice Kain made one fateful day
To govern a land filled with madness and strife
Or heal the land at the cost of his life
He changed all of Nosgoth in ways I can't speak
To gather the strong and dispose of the weak
I'm one of his sons; his first-born, Raziel
I've served Kain a lifetime; I know him quite well
Humanity bores him; he pays them no mind
And so, he created six more of his kind
I stood with my brethren; together we stayed
Our human sides ever so slowly did fade
First Kain would evolve; a new gift he would gain
Which gave all our rivals new ways to be slain
The rest of us followed not long after that
Until I appeared with the wings of a bat
Kain marveled at first when he stepped off the throne
But ruined my wings by extracting the bone
Twas painful enough to have both wings destroyed
But then I was cast in the infinite void
All weaklings and traitors would suffer like this
To burn for all time in the seething abyss
My brothers' hands acted to punish my "sin"
When Kain gave the order, they hurled me in
Melchiah, Rahab, Zephon, Dumah, Turel
None questioned Kain's order to cast me in Hell
I guess that this fate should have been no surprise
Surpassing Kain led to this gruesome demise
I burned with white fire for 500 years
For bringing to life one of Kain's greatest fears
He wants none to ever exceed him in power
My hatred for Kain grew with each passing hour
Eventually I could no longer descend
My pain would recede, and this torment would end
