I have walked many miles
Fields of bloom have sprouted in my footsteps
Shrouded by a myriad of bush, petal, and root
The path I’ve traversed, engraved heavily upon the earth
While the weight of a thousand boulders
Bear down heavily, upon these once sturdy
Now frail shoulders
-------------------------------------------------------
I’ve seen hell, even fallen down upon its vile soil
Fought its demons and my own
Endured the flames of perdition
Scent of cinder and brimstone
Carved into my being
My scars toughen only this hide
Both armor and coffin
Still driven by my conviction
Serving no other mission
-----------------------------------------------------------
How long will the force of will sustain me?
Conviction feed my hunger, quench my thirst?
Fealty run through my veins, fill my lungs?
My soul cries, my heart grows weary
I pray that despair and weakness not see me
-----------------------------------------------------
Now that I breathe no more
Walk no more
Pain no longer haunting me
I once thought it impossible
Now all I have, stolen
I have now been broken
