An Unknown Assassin

Once every so often does this light seem infernal,
Even at this moment my battle Eternal.
My true purpose is peace.

In doing so my enemy's life must cease.
Both of us refuse to fall, many victims I cannot name.
To be honest, my enemy and I are the same.

I live to die and I die to live,
Relief from my bloody task I cannot give.
Their lust for control has me confounded.

With each passing day their malignant anthem sounded.
Foreboding grows as our numbers become stronger.
Is this battle doomed to last longer?

I live to die and I die to live,
Relief from this wretched task I cannot give.
How many more must fall to demise,

To the Templar Cross I despise.
For each fight does innocence fade,
And so the bonds of discord are laid-

Even now as I lay dying.
I am unknown, no one will be crying.
My Brothers are too late, I cannot be saved.

For so long my death the Templars craved.
So friend hear now the words to you I give,
Live to Die and Die to Live.
