Serpent's Legacy

Pain and hate and bitter song
Silence is the truest friend
Walk the journey that is long
Never shall you gain the end.
Dream of glories of days past-
Forget the song, forget the Name
Hooded stranger to the last
Longing for the touch of flame.

Darkness beckons, singing sweet
(What favors have they done for you?)
Struggle, fashion, hold, retreat
(What comfort has the sun for you?)
Scream and yell and fight and hit
(Why take the hate and lies, my love?)
Swear that you will not submit
(The darkest skies are brightest, love.)

Sing of glories yet to come
(The Light knows naught of love, my child)
Sound the horn and beat the drum
(Why let them push and shove, my child?)
Ignore the urge that lurks within
(The Day would chain and bind you, love.)
Ignore the beast below the skin
(We shall not let them find you, love.)

Lies and hatred catch and hold
No matter how you beg and plead.
The flames within is ashes cold
And will not light at your sore need.
Big goodbye to all you know
Love and family, dearest friend
For on the trails where you go
None shall greet you at the end.

Time for you to say adieu
For there's nothing left to do.
You forget all complications
When the Shadow covers you.
