Descending through thickened mist
An old man reached inside and tore out my slumber
Ivory twists an open claw

Set upon the skulls of man

Formative years aside

Truth blanched in sun's delusion
But providence affirmed
Destroyed my aberration

Mortal seeds in divine
Gave grief into life's form


And so curved the spine
Obeisance made before him
Blessed in life but truly cursed by death

Bitter choice befalls you
Glory, lord of men, asks but pain


Master's stone was weaved
Compelled before the throne
Then war came, a semblance of her

Lands unite and he prospers

Grand signs $$#ail me

Temptation yields $$#ent
As irons carve the sand
A ruse brings fate upon him

Anguished price for laurels
Veins burnt by hatred,
In premonitions menis consumed me


Unsanctified, I cared nothing for their ways
Yet a father's plea dragged mercy from me


Now, demi-god, echo in eternity
A toxic toll pierces the flaw

On reflection, there was never any choice
