Final Ascent

Moments to final exhalation He seeks the comfort of his memories Seen through the haze that is his vision A shadowed figure provides liberation A moment’s contemplation To leave this hell behind No! They have freed their destroyer “I will become death’s disciple No remorse will taint my wrath A kindness has unleashed their ruin” With freedom now regained A revelation floods his mind Deep inside the domain of his enemy Vengeance will be delivered from within “I will be the one who ensnares the oppressor Who demands the penitence my kin deserve For what has befallen us in recent days And for all of the suffering that came before” To bring down the beast he must remove the head Find the lone creator, the architect of discord For it’s he who must be forced to pay for his sins The source of their damnation, His demise will end the divide In the distance, his target seen A monolithic tower Inside the tyrant dwells “I will traverse the gauntlet Let nothing thwart my task In moments, in his blood I’ll bask.”
