It feels like ever so long ago,
that I lay safe,
away from war,
away from pain
Ever so long ago.
When my home was whole
And my mind untouched
By the taint of fear
I remember that day
It feels like ages ago.
I watched as the roof broke open
Revealing a blood red sky
Bringing with it the pains of of tyranny
and corruption
It feels like ever so long ago
That they made me into a weapon
As a weapon that fought for avaricious men
Fighting to win land that was not theirs
I watched as my home was broken
turned into the tomb of kings.
Then after millenia of insanity there came tranquility
they made a wepon and intended for me to find peace.
They tried to fit me into society.
I was placed in the left hand of a king
Still a weapon, but a blunt one
And told too help him rule
We did rule over the conquered land
My land
Their land
A new land.
It feels like ever so long ago
I am haunted by the things i have done
But i am no longer the one who did those deeds
I am reforged by my lord
Who sits upon a throne made of the bodys of my people
I did find peace. Eventuly.
Knowing that a tool in the hands of a wicked man is not wicked in and of itself
And the hands of my creatures are thoese of black flame
And pain
Pain of my people that the conqurers who hold my chains evicted them of
But i found peace
And then that reign too was over
Replaced by one of labour and thought
Once again i was reborn
This time i worked in dark pits
Covered in dark stinking mud
Building up the towers of those above me
The ones who took me from my breaking land and bent me too their will
I am weak now. And not of much use
Soon i will find my place umong my ancestors
My body will crumble back into my land were i shall forever sleep
A sleep of death. A sleep of bliss.
Soon. not yet. I still have some strength left in my weary soul
And until then i will do as comanded by my lords
For whom I build their monuments.
It is now time for me too rest
Back to the land I go
Back to my home were i was taken ever so long ago
I shall lay beside my ancestors in toumbs of golden light and earthy darkness
I have seved my penance my time is done
My lords will break my bonds
Back to the land I go.
Ever so long ago
