With centuries to prepare for the final battle and the glory that awaits in every drop of life" Lust forever, lust for life, A lust Unmatched in human kind Fueled by such desires As may mold flesh to my want "Beauty as Might, and Might as Right" So seduced the lord From wanton whores the bloodsons came In legion issued forth Cursed for all eternity As seen by another also condemned Before the final blow is dealt What will be has been! Too late the error revealed. The unparalleled pride of the ancient one now splintered through all the ages. With glory for one the ideal is lost, as is the war Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars Arrogance in the sons that I was fated to ignore For a greater lust that by design will never sate An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate A pause to look upon the world before I am reborn A brilliant flash of light and the One Great Truth revealed The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate is again wiped clean Where one time ends, another begins Caught within the scenes of Time __________ Crimson Might (And Glory) As giant wings, fashioned from the flesh of the fallen, exerted their will to secure beast and rider's course in twilight's sky so the once placid night was disturbed.
