After lurking in my frigid cage

Behold the darkness, fear and rage

What will become of this age?

Every tidbit does dismay

My forsaken heart in every way

Does it truly matter what I say?

For only I foresee the pain

Ensuing the corrupted reign

Of this great nation's tragic wane

But in the depths of this cold land

Behold a glowing outstretched hand

Until it all returns to sand

And when that sand does resume

No longer does my darkness loom

Awakened. Frozen in my room

When I gaze across the light

These foolish dreams I cannot fight

Arise to steal my very sight

One of my brothers everlasting

Two more of others, our wills contrasting

Upon my love forever casting

My beating heart will never rest

Nor will the needles in my chest

Before justice does have its nest

Testing how far I could run

I finally see the blazing sun

As with my will - the only one
