Into the Darkness

Madness consumes him like wildfire,
A man who walks between life and death,
All essence of humanity gone, only the shell of a man remains,
Chaos and carnage his mantra,
Salvation attained through bloodshed, all who resist are labeled fools,

He hears voices, guiding him in this dark quest,
Voices lusting for death, only drowned by bloodshed,
A crazed demon, only praying for war,
To the edge of the world he travels ,
beyond all that light shines upon,
Into the void he travels, to the very essence of vengeance,

A quest to release the origin of all evil,
To punish mankind, rid the word of sinful men who claim to be the devil,
For in his forsaken heart and soul,
a maniacal truth he has come to realise,
Only in the face of despair,
will humanity learn true darkness
