Realms to Conquer

Under tons of stone, billions of leagues below the sea
I was defeated
Betrayal; my downfall
In this brazen coffin, I sleep and dream of vengeance
Coyly, it’s calling
My eyes; just opened

With my bare hands, I dig myself out of this grave
Struggling to be reborn. My body’s broken, yet I’m full of grace
I gasp for air. The pain, like fire scorching skin
My hatred is a flare, a blaze outshining any sun

Rain whips the waves, an unrelenting storm
How many years have passed?
Will I find reprieve?
Exhaustion clings to me, arms and legs, leaden
The sea won’t relinquish me
Yet I strike the beach

With my bare hands and heart towards the sky
I’ve eked out a second chance to shine
No god can be as blind. I have been wronged
My hatred is a flare, a blaze outshining any sun

Behold, these fields of stone bear witness to the golden cities’ wretched fate
Reduced to dust in a frenzied gale of steel
My legacy? Forgotten, a crumbling tale of forlorn grandeur
Accursed Maal‘etesh
Everything lies in ruins

Vile deceiver
Blood for bile, no more of your soothing lies!
Fair play of a foul god. It’s no lord
It’s the Sword that holds the price

Vile deceiver
Blood for bile, no more of your soothing lies!
Fair play for a foul god. It’s no hoard
It’s your whore. Won’t cross me thrice!

An emperor’s soul is my guide
I lead the ones unbroken. My shadows swarm the sea!
Still, there are realms to conquer, people to enslave
Between these mirthless ruins, I spot eyes hailing me

They burst into tears. I’ve been longed for
Craving for purpose, these fools will blindly follow me
Loving redeemer, savior, I’ll be it all
Until I reach the final keep. No refuge from my revenge
What sweet relief!
