LIONHEART

What was it that I became so strong for?

To what purpose did mountains splinter in my way? Why?

Why did armies vanish before me?

Why did rivers change course when I approached?

 From the beginning, I sought after strength and honor.

And found glory in my countless victories.

 And now, here I am, impaled...

As nothing more than a sore loser.

I had been beaten by a stronger foe.

Or by the countless blades which felled me.

 A powerful adversary, or an army.

Perhaps both. Now,

Marching towards the city I protected all this time.

To lay waste to it.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">What was it I became so strong for?

<p class="MsoNormal">The purpose is yet unclear to me.

<p class="MsoNormal">I lost sight of it somewhere along the way.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">On the battle field,

<p class="MsoNormal">I was more of a beast than anything.

<p class="MsoNormal">I earned the name of Lionheart.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">Whenever I returned to the city,

<p class="MsoNormal">People would swarm the gates and welcome me.

<p class="MsoNormal">As if I was their divine protector.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I was soon surrounded by nobles, lords, barons,

<p class="MsoNormal">People who wanted to be my friends.

<p class="MsoNormal">Most of which wore a fake smile I’m sure.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Rhea…

<p class="MsoNormal">You were the one who put a cross around my neck.

<p class="MsoNormal">You taught me of the Lord in Heaven.

<p class="MsoNormal">You gave me purpose, and I forgot…

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">I made you a promise, that I would become strong.

<p class="MsoNormal">But the image of her, lying in a blood pool upon my return.

<p class="MsoNormal">And my uncaring expression at the sight of this…

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">You had been living in the shadow of my greatness,

<p class="MsoNormal">And I looked down upon you.

<p class="MsoNormal">I left a scar in your heart, I think.

<p class="MsoNormal">I incinerate your body, and yet…

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">Here you are, looking down at my pitiful state.

<p class="MsoNormal">Are you a ghost? I see.

<p class="MsoNormal">You’ve been with me all this time.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <p class="MsoNormal">“I will wait for you on the other side.”

<p class="MsoNormal">You say, as your soul rises to Heaven.

<p class="MsoNormal">Too much I’m afraid, that my soul goes the other way…
