Dark Rhyme(The Beast and its faithful allies)
What ails man, lives deep inside
alone can not purge, tho' many have tried,
eating flesh and blood from dust risen,
infinite black holding soul in its prison,
with fanged teeth and ever deep famished bites,
seeking to betray hope and heavenly sights,
as man walks in darkness and cries his woes,
it gnaws away at decaying fingers and toes,
forever hidden from gift of renewing light
ancient ghastly beast sworn to ever fight.
The Path Became Bloody, The Door Forever Was Shut
(Part Two)
Again, new beast has risen, as was before
Famished, seeking its first meal, blood and gore
With my sword heavy and soaked deep bloody red
I slash at is massive scaled body instead.
Could this monster, a flesh and blood mortal withstand.
Yet one must, to save our families, homes, our lands.
Rebirth had given it size and armored scales
New behemoth fired from crowd's hate and angry wails
Alas! This giant, its strength taxed my courage hard
Tho' a hardened warrior bred, my soul was a bard.
Could this monster, a flesh and blood mortal withstand.
Yet one must, to save our families, homes, our lands.
Steeping back, I saw its armored hide its great girth
Tho' fearful I swear to win, giving all my worth
Mind now hampered by fear, its defeating powers
I fought savage beast, growing weaker each new hour
Could this monster, a flesh and blood mortal withstand.
Yet one must, to save our families, homes, our lands.
Alas! Losing hope, day and night have now flown on past
Weary, courage waning, for I fear each blow my last
Only prayers have sustained courage, my strength and heart
Should I fail, my body would be ripped apart
Could this monster, a flesh and blood mortal withstand.
Yet one must, to save our families, homes, our lands.
From heavens above a thunderclap struck the ground
in its debris, new sword and glowing armor I found
Saving grace delivered to this worn, weary soul
Renewing hope's powers and faith to reach my goal
Could this monster, a flesh and blood mortal withstand.
Yet one must, to save our families, homes, our lands.
