Created i did the great shadow and his steed Made him up all dark with hate Tinged with red; gave on to him an eerie glow Gave him rage and anger as his food And set him free within my worlds Laid waste he did into my lands Smashed it up and brought the storm Left me battered and torn upon the shores No worldly light to call my own. When the wastes were dead and bare He turned his darkened gaze my way And roared his rage upon me My walls came crashing down around me No where to run! but to his sword Brought to bare; i was on my knees No more could i look on such a face Driven mad with despair it was my own Yet this essence wore no golden crown.. Turned and fled with what strength i had Not once, not ever did i dare look back I ran from him and i ran from me Like a fool; right out into the night Which was his dark domain; his castle keep And this is where she found me! All black and embers burning dimly She picked me up and made me whole And slowly walked me home into the light. |
