The Enemy Within
Far beyond the edge of night
Past abilities of human sight
Passing to you these tenets I write
Of the battle looming I must fight
I’ve no fear yet consumed of fright
Muscle’s aching with a tension tight
Adrenaline coursing beyond height
Beholding the faceless deadly knight
Those fire storm eyes burning bright
Casting hues of reddish light
Laughter bellows at my feign of might
Confidence falters to paling white
Unsheathe of blade accepting plight
Destined truths believed a right
Edgeless blade in a moment slight
Senses ceased on molten smite
Deceased existence fades tonight
Bled dry upon the sabers bite
Fate fulfilled of divine rite
Never looking back upon this site
