Legends At Hand

I'm not alive
Solely to please the wings on her wind
But she told a lie
Only to show that I have sinned


I told her that I
Was never frightened of shadows
But she told me that I
Might listen to what follows


A story of the dark
An account of what the beast has marked
A tale of lust for result
A tale to inspire and insult


If the battle isn't over
Then the war is to begin
If the shadow isn't colder
Then the odds are it will win
If the balance didn't tell you
Of the consequence of inaction
Then the only course of escape
Is to assimilate factions


Live and be alive
Nothing is left of the land of your birth
Fight to unearth
All the dreams and sorrow
Can I wait on hate for a while...
