Exile
From the eye of the storm, let the truth be told.
From the hounds of hell to the kings of old.
I rise from the shadows to fall back down.
My anger is blinding and the only sound...
Is of lightning and fire, yet I feel so cold.
In my personal hell, events unfold.
Driven to do and say these things.
By my personal demon and the darkness he brings.
Banished to the edge of a demented mind.
My humanity is all but left behind.
And thought it is strange I've no time to weep.
For I'm slipping into a dreamless sleep.
And you might think this is where my story ends.
But at death's door is where it truly begins.
Whether I sleep a millennia, a day, or a year.
I will soon be awake, my time is near.
