Questions

Wake up... sleepy mortal... it is time to embrace light

You've been given body... mind... senses including sight

All was in your favor... strength... will... power and might

Time was at your feet... day after day and night after night.

You've destroyed trees to make paper... so what did you write?

Was it special? Did you supress wrong? Did you amplify right?

What happiness did you bring? What families did you reunite?

How many souls did you guide? How much hatred did you fight?

What questions were you asked? What answers did you recite?
I'm interested in a raven so black that bleeds words so white!

You've sought justice in these skies and were as lost as a kite

So tell me, misguided one, how is it you've come to reach this height?

Inside Chaos

The way you seem... I cannot stand it, I swear
The way you cry... covered by your hands and hair
The way you frown... your eyes find no one to care
The way you feel... I felt aswell, just by being there.

The way you pretend... desperate to hide your ache
The way you sigh... you wish to sleep and never wake
The way you fend... holding back tears for pride's sake
The way you smile... a gesture so real... an emotion so fake.

The way you try... challenged with crossroads of choice
The way you lie... to keep them happy and see them rejoice
The way you talk... tension echoes by your soft innocent voice
The way you strive... so much pain that nobody offers to hoist.

The way you collapse... only to lift yourself from the cold floor
The way you prevail... leaving your heart scarred, hurt and sore
The way you emplode... imprinting your anguish onto your core
The way you go on... you just keep expecting more... and more.

The way you hope... looking up to the blue sky growing so pale

The way you succeed... in reminding yourself how much you fail

The way you hide... thinking I wouldn't see you behind your veil

The way you despair... weakens me while I am ignorant of your tale.

Knight for a Night

My king has commanded me to eliminate and kill
Chosen... I lack not talent... neither swiftness nor skill
If not loyal to thy rank, It is thy blood I would spill
I shall take part in thy war, thy request I shall fulfill.

I travel to sin amongst sinners, blindly... just as you planned
God, bind my ankles... I wish not the power nor the ability to stand
My prayers go unanswered... as my eyes witness the populated land
Battle cries intensify... I feel the unconscious gripping of my cold hand.

Villagers... carpenters... miners... fishermen... children of pure bliss
I bring them hate with no just cause... I... I didn't want any of this
If I keep riding... yet... if I don't... it is my own family that I'd miss
Damn this pointless rage... God... please save the weak & helpless.

The drums of war have begun... the vibrations reach my very core
The land once so green is now poisoned with red... the color of war
Blasphemy... terrorism... racism... massacre... mass killing or gore
Be it what you will... because I won't look back on this anymore!

Forgiveness... is but a dream... one that comes after my past nightmare
Justice... was in my hands... when my king had none to spare
A thousand men waged war... A thousand men did not care
We returned... heroes with scars... reporting back to the king's lair.

"We've slaughtered them all, your highness." So my blade would sing
His majesty rewarded my sins, knighthood with a church bell ring
Tears ran down my face that night... what justice did I bring?
"Be thou a knight." was when I killed his majesty, my king.
