He was a warrior beside himself

His body bore its scars

His soul basked in its glory

Clouds shrouded anger and pain

And dust hovered over sweat and blood

He was always foraging

Conflicted always

Foraging

Everything and everyone around him died

The heat consumed the man inside

But the struggle still remained

I don't fit into this ending quite yet

The mountain kept growin', and it kept me alive

Every night I sleep only to awake

Hand on the hilt, bound by fate

Shielded himself

An aggressor

He was an aggressor

And a martyr protectin' no one

Left for years in uninhabitable sorrow

Left years ago

Walked the distant plain

He was a savior

A knot drippin’ in his fate

The heat consumed the strength that was left

But he kept wieldin’

Pickin' up his sword

And he kept wieldin’

All chorus and no demise

Oh, I think I won’t be able to come

My body's wakin’ up

Something’s shining through the dark

How won’t I act surprised

Once you step inside

The brand still bleeds

The black sun never fades

And even if the night swallows me whole

I’ll keep wieldin’

I’ll keep wieldin’
