A young boy born into poverty Sees the world for what it really is A disgusting state in which greed and corruption thrive Masked under the veil of divinity Son of a drunkard and the town harlot The bastard child of worthless human beings Never shown affection or the love for one another His life truly had no meaning One night, a drunken father comes home From a night at the tavern He takes one look at his son And spits at him in disgust "You're a filthy mistake!" "You're just a burden to me!" Drunkenly, he grabs the switch from the table "Please father, no more!" A flash of light A gust of wind releases from his body The room grows dim His father, surprised, stands ready to beat him But can not move His body crushed from the force of gravity. Exploding before him Amazed at his newfound power A slave to curiosity Magic had always existed Esoteric power only few possess Devoted to the pursuit of the arcane He embraces his true power within The power to kill only gets stronger A legend of fear he becomes Standing at the city gates he waves his hands, down rains fire, he destroys the fucking city Years later, he stands amongst his king On the day of his son's coronation. Cloaked in black he removes his hood. Out of the darkness and the cold of the night Approaching the king, he looks in his eyes "What can I do for you my child?" In one swift motion, he waves his hand. A black mist emanates into the air One by one, guests implode from the inside their entrails paint the golden hall red The king is left alone in shock and horror Alone, the "mighty" king asks "Who are you the devil?" His blade moves across his throat The king chokes on his blood, his eyes roll back. "No, I am the new king"

Savior 03:36
A man of nobility Graced by the gods themselves Born to live a life of virtue Hindered not by nobility or wealth. Always valued his people His loyalty absolute The son of a general Been trained to fight since birth Not with magic, but with skill of shield and sword he (so) proudly fights To this man, magic is but blasphemy His kingdom plagued with mystic beasts time and time again A truly noble act and he made his name slaying them A renown warrior An honored hero of his land Ascending through the ranks* Now a captain who serves for the glory of his king Assigned with an important quest To rid a mysterious cult With a few skilled men at his side They set out on their journey. In Heilia Forest they dwell Engaging in the unknown At the behest of the king they were sent to eliminate this potential threat Shadows Darkness An unknown force throws his men in the sky. Their limbs snap as they descend and die. They grab their blades. Controlled they take their own lives. The captain gets knocked to the ground Men lay dead all around Half conscious, vision unclear A dark figure approaches. “You are cursed for an eternity” “Bestowed upon you is the curse of immortality” “You are granted powers that the world has never seen” “Monumental power at the cost of your own sanity”

A city once full of splendor Now reduced to rubble and ash Tattered flags wave in the wind The city now statueless. Shields at the ready Armor glinting in the sun Catapults move into position The time for war has come Fighting to reclaim their homeland Their helms mask their anxiety Slowly trudging through the battlefield to meet an uncertain fate. Dark mages and the undead Winged beasts of malevolent spawn Emerge onto the battlefield The Dark Lord’s army!! Set ablaze at the flick of their hand Screams of burning men can be heard from afar Asphyxiated from across the land. Under powered, they’ve already lost this war Black skinned beasts encircle the skies With wings that eclipse the sun Breathing black fire of plague and death Caught in the blast, they’ll wither to ash Warriors of the sword are no match for the arcane Years of training could not prepare them Limbs and organs strewn across the ground Their brothers in arms lay dead Maimed, Slaughtered, Crushed x2 Burned, Dismembered, Slayed x2 Amidst the flurry of bloodshed A white clad knight rises Using deadly sorcery and blade He slays the undead with ease. Standing in the tower the tyrant glimpses A warrior of considerable power For a moment their gazes meet.

Ascending through the castle Halls now stained with blood The door slowly opens He sits on the throne I, have come forth to end you End your wretched hand No, see you cannot stop me. I will conquer this world. This knight holds his shield and raises his sword Charging him with all of his might The tyrant knocks him back destroying his shield He raises the shards with open palms One by one the pieces pierce his body! Eugh! “I can not die!!!” Wiping the blood off his plate Muttering chants, he infuses his blade He focuses his remaining energy and swings with the power gifted to him The tyrant falls unexpectedly But swiftly regains his footing With great force he crushes the knights limbs Screams of pain echo through the halls Limbs, broken and crushed. He’s suspended in the air “So you are immortal?” “Then you shall see these visions of horror" Paralyzed he can not move “Death, Rape, shame your innermost fears” “Delusions of terror will ravage your mind until insanity” “This is not the end, this is just the beginning
