As you walk

 As you walk in the darkness
You'll see that you are alone
Despite the company that carries you
Into battles that are not your own
Blessed by the glimpses of silence
As you take a walk through
The power of defiance
And despair holds you
Prisoner to your own thoughts
And not privy to them all
In the quiet cold embrace of the dark
You hear the darkness finally call
And in that cold sweet place
You may find your final embrace
Or you may walk yet again
Stand tall, stand ever-proud
Stand strong, but never bound
By anything at all, and more
For the world is finally yours
For the taking, for the reaping
For you are untouchable
And the dark through you will surge
And it's control over you will cease
Stand up, my dear, stand up, and feel
The way they fear, the way they feal
The way they kneel before feet
And then you will know
That I was right all along
And you should have never shut me out
At all
But we both know that story
Where it starts, where it ends
Abandoning all that you've ever loved
Your family, your friends
And walking away, in exile
You made a name, full of guile
Determined to take back what's yours
Build treasures and hoards of gold
And buy an army to suffer your pain
So tell me, my child, what is your name?
Is there a name at all
Or is what's left something nameless
Fear is your power, and so is hatred
To bring back the love you've lost
No matter the cost
You must do what you must do
What's necessary is what will happen
Everything is up to you
In your hands, and in your palms
I have given you that power
So my dearest child, stand and devour
Eat away hope, live on despair
And finally wake up
Wake up and taste the ale
Breathe in the gale
Of the midnight air
