The Man’s Reply
There is truth in what you spoke
She was gone when I awoke
All that I have left of her now
Is her ring and my vow
She was young and so was I
She was too, too young to die
All I have to do is go back ten years
And erase all of those tears
Beautiful, filled with truth
Vibrant and stunning in her youth
She would have wanted me to move on
Let go of hate and embrace the dawn
You dare prey upon my dream
I now know your evil scheme
You wish me to unleash a nightmare
Something no man should ever dare
A dark beast is what you are
The Pillar’s second scar
Corrupted to your very soul
Stained black, as black as coal
You would feed on all mankind
Thus, you must remain confined
The Silver Gate will hold you fast
Rot in your shackles ‘til time is past
I will not turn back the clock
I will not destroy the lock
Remain trapped away in your cage
That which seals all your hate and rage
You are just a weak fool
Using me as your tool
You expect me to grant your plea
Setting you and your wrath free
Your kind will bear this curse
The shining gates will not disperse
Silver and gold and bronze is your doom
Locking you deep forever in your tomb
You should not have tempted me
I will never agree
Your venomous words have fallen on deaf ears
I have no hatred or fears
You will fade into nothingness
While I will find peace and true happiness
I have chosen the path at my feet
Go back to your cage and wallow in defeat
