Warrior
What shadows seek this shelter
upon my every breath
that chance to make me falter
shall but covet me for death
weave cold heart to darkness
entwining spells around
wrapping heavy footsteps
bind and flay me underground
abandon soul to places
where it seeks to not return
suck me to a vortex
where forever I shall burn
a warrior set of heart and mind
will call upon the fierce
encumbered not in shadows
for my courage it shall pierce
lonely weighted brittle chains
shan't grip around me tight
I shall steal this soul from darkness
I shall ride it to the light
A warrior a warrior
I shall cut upon the chord
and slice out from the shadows
with the faith upon my sword
