One Battle Lost One Battle Won

In iron shadows, cold and tight/ I sank beneath the weight of night/ A crime unclaimed, a fate unfair/ And all my prayers fell on deaf air/ For six months, my tears took flight/ Rising like embers into the night/ I called for grace, for mercy's hand/ But silence met my last demand/ Sentenced, shackled, years were spun/ A war begun, one battle won/ I looked to the sky; eyes burned in rage/ The heavens above, no hand was raised/ Faith had faltered, left me bare/ Hope had vanished, none to spare/ Through depths uncharted, I made my throne/ A kingdom forged in fire and stone/ The Qliphoth sang its wicked tune/ I took my seat beneath the moon/ What Gods had failed, now demons rise/ A shattered soul, no compromise/ Life moves on, do as you will/ The stars remain, yet burn so still/ One battle lost, one battle won/ I wear my scars; they weigh like none/ Bow not to Gods, nor fleeting fate/ But to the one who walks through hate/
