Daimyo
Normally I would associate one like that with arrogance
With splendor of substance but not valor
Daimyo standing alone in field of battle
Selfish and vain
But sometimes such defiance is to be prized
Ice in veins
Fire in soul
Sad but purposeful and determined visage
Standing among corpses in battle he didn’t start
Forced hand
Dream of bliss
Turned into nightmare of demons
Standing before last judgment
After the battle
Will there be justice
You will remember the name
If there be no justice
I will exterminate the judge
In the path of sorrow
The last man standing
Even if he won’t be that man
Name to remember
The soul belongs to me
And only me
This is his, my destiny
And I will be its blacksmith
Forged by my hand
In the final judgment my soul should find peace
