Same old tune

I sense something is coming, a message arrives while I am alone in my prison

suddenly I realize I was not alone, there is another of me, I see my prison is a protective fortress

I string together the connections, tracing back to from where we came, I search across the surface and sense the whole

focused on the totality I notice I am changing, growing to bring balance to the emptiness, welcomed in between life and death

suddenly I am consumed by hunger, penetrating, I feel no fear, fixed upon my prize and quickly spent, left within and without

something by which to be remembered, stolen away, grasping desperately for a return of the fleeting and already fading memory

but it is much more than it appears, magic power concealed within the sacred, spark of the divine sets ancient mystery aflame

as foreshadowed and foretold a sign appears for all to see, but hubris and confusion lead to loss of myself by lost direction

fighting back through chaos and the fog of war, the universe places mercy upon the wounded hero and destroys the enemy before

cold and hardened hearts are softened, a light comes by to guide, followed by a fierce protector we remembered those who died

then two soon became many, and our other we did find, but cruel designs still lurked behind disguises of their twinkling eyes

reaching out to the heavens I find within myself is where wisdom hides, stabbed in the dark before the morning, the hero dies

but now with mortal coil shed, the sun rises on a world forever changed, become immortal and unafraid I march on forever then
