Sacrifice

A decision is made
A change occurs
And thus a war must end

---

The heroes of the rebellion
Are only obscure myths
The stories of their lives
Are nothing but legends
Their memories locked away
In iron caskets beneath
The surface of graves

The immortal are doomed to remember
Their last stand and call
While they watched helpless
As their friends one by one fell

---

But what’s worse is the choice they made
To change their peaceful past
And become the angels of death
They are now known as

The war was won
But at what terrible cost
Peace could never return
To a world as war torn as that

Annihilation of a species
Murders of worlds
Power beyond recognition
Knowledge above all

Their conscious gone
Their target set
Killing machines –nothing more
Except the soul intact

Haunting memories day and night
Guilt that will not leave
Driven to the brink of insanity
By a world in upheave

Immortality doesn’t die
There is no escape

Learn to live with the screams
Of those you helped to kill
Learn to live with the images
Of a world in turmoil

Accept life the way it is
Accept you past, your hate
But change the course of your future
Do not give into fate
