The Fall

2. The Fall

The past rides away with its blood red kiss
a scar lines the path that led astray
scores of red scorches envisioned in mist
knocking on the doors of the grave...

The lava erupts and emblazons the stars
with its heated glare of blood
a face remembered (fondly) and a face from the past
now reminds you that you've been betrayed

Her choking gasp and pleas
do fall on deaf ears
she collapses to the ground
as her breath fades away

Duel Erupts
Weapons Spark
Burning Stench
from Azure Bars
Clash and Crack
as Parries deign
to block the lunges
from whence they came

The former banneret of the vaunted order
fallen from grace, heart blood drenched (and) decayed
benighted with the scent of innocents slain
the Chosen One to writhe in torment...
It is Fate

Now nefarious ways are all that can be glimpsed
through his shield of malicious intent
The glissando effect of his forced alignment
his worldview now twisted and bent

Hatred flows through the veins of life
So overpowering in its strength
surges of anger - arrogance grew
until Balance Point was tipped with a mistake

Burning amputation wends and rends its way through flesh
pain of the highest kind - punishment for transgress
Grasping out for safety and gasping out for air
Burning lines of secrets drawn and now they are laid bare

Black Insectoid - Powerful Deity
now lay in the place of the man
pain, agony, anguish and torment
more than anyone could stand

Rise...

The galaxy shuddered now forever enchained
by the tightening grasp of his mind
Iron Fist closing with little resistance
no difference 'twixt the man and the mask
