The Warrior Beside You (reply to mcamrhei "From Dreams Past")


As I sit at my screen I heard your scream You don't even know me but even though I sit here in this office chair I'm not here I'm over there Through the bounds of time and space I fly to your side on the battlefield of the mind the war of the soul I won't say I've fought the same daemons I have enough of my own But when I see your body tossed aside broken and dying defeated by the armies of hell itself I cant help but feel the emotion that has been long dormant buried so deep in me I knew it was there in me but its face I hoped I would never have to see for the power in me is a fire that makes Hell itself dim It was born of hate of anger of being broken by my own enemies now my wings are mended my armor polished my sword sharp my shield hard your call of anguish has been heard the fire has rekindled the war is on as I reach your broken corpse I hear the faintest of breath you are still here you stammer "so this is how it ends?" No, this is how it begins stand and fight for though you cannot see me I am by your side our swords are one blade our shields a wall the anguish of defeat reminds me of side of Hell that my fury was born in the beasts that surround us shall know that there is a thing called hope and its shinning light shall pierce their souls just as our blades pierce their flesh you cannot die I am unafraid to together, the very forces of hell cannot match us together, we fight once more into the fray once more with purpose you are not alone in this fight
