The Light in the Darkness


The Light in the Darkness A crown of shadows sits upon my head. I wear the Abyss on my wrist, and my necklace is home to the dead. Crowned in my youth by the shades themselves. No time nor space in this place where I bled. I've seen the belly of the beast, and I've looked out of hell's mouths, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. I beheld only One True and Faithful Light, as I witnessed endless nights, filled with screams of pain echoes inside. But the Hope of Glory shined bright. So my fists clenched tight, and I began to fight the good fight.
