Death's Slave

Marching towards the gates of hell
No time to pick up those who fell
Blood pouring from my heart
This is just the start

Pick them off one by one
Club them with an empty gun
I have nothing left up my sleeve
But I refuse to leave

This is my fight alone
I must face them on my own
The bodies thicken around the nest
The final blow hits my chest

The world turns cold
I have nothing left to hold
This was my final chance
To reclaim the expanse

With each and every breath
I grow nearer to death
The dark clouds that line the skies
Split apart as my soul flies

But my body remains
On the barren plains
It has one final mission to complete
I watch it draw the blade of white heat

My body charges ahead
It’s one desire, the creature’s head
There’s no way to stop its attack
Charging on through the endless black

Slaying every demon in its path
Letting out a lifeless laugh
And with unthinkable power
Cuts straight through the tower

As it enters the courtyard of fears
It breaks down and gives in to tears
The angels that surround me
Realize the gravity of what they see

They must intervene
To save their queen
Their golden swords drawn
Awakening the dawn

They fall from the sky
The visible war cry
The final moments draw near
I can feel its fear

Not the fear of my past form
But that of an ice storm
I do not fear the grave
I won’t be death’s slave
