Running The Gauntlet


Swallowed whole, into this false sense of security
I knew it would rain, like the gods had opened the flood gates
My heart is racing, is this finally my reality?
Deep breaths, I'm searching within myself, his face like stone, cold hard and lifeless
The crash, the burn, struck down, my flesh
I've reached the end, dim the sky, expiring alone, was never in my mind
My resolve: die
I suffered endlessly to get this far, no one to make my choices no one to hold me down
Please blade strike true this night, remind me of what I've become
My rightful place in time, this crown is mine!
Cold steel rips sinew, the grass stained red, his bones are shattered, he breathes his last breath
No remorse for his soul, this was my fate, I had to see it through to the very end
This is what I was born to do: his self made grave
I'm forever indebted to this legacy
Taking what life he had left, I discarded his body and left it to rot
My breath in the morning mist, has never been so pure
I'm dreaming of a new life
I am complete
Of all the things I have despised, once again I'm alive
