Master of the Past

Knows of all that came before,
Still cannot stop Her deadly roar.

From beneath his velvet black hood,
Beside him a strong woman stood.

Into the Abyss, to challenge a Goddess,
Unafraid of being helpless.

His brother, a golden warrior for light,
Asking him to end his plight.

His evil knowledge unmatched,
Still he bowed to the truth unmasked.

Give himself to a useless cause,
Perhaps not a defeat, but merely a pause.
