I fought back the dogs of ravenous thieves And shuffled my feet in dried up leaves Alerting all that were left to fight That I was still alive in this frightful night I walked though valleys and climbed to mountains peaks All looking for what he seeks I took the bullets and fought back pain I stomped though snow and weathered the rain At the guards gate I pleaded my case You cannot pass said the man with the stone face I could not, would not be stopped, no not on this day And as I past the guards at my feet did lay I crossed the rickety bridge over the rapid stream And past the hills that spouted steam Finally I came to the doors of hell I pushed open the door determined not to fail The heat rushed out and burned my face And the flavor of sin consumed my taste I wandered for what seemed for years Passing the men with no innocent tears I followed a path blazed by fire Not knowing what evil would conspire My plan was simple, not to fail The one thing that wouldnt fall was the hammer on my coffins last nail Even though I had been broken I would not stop without the victors token I raised my sword and struck down my path And did not flinch at my enemies wrath Did not show my remorse or my fear Did not allow my true intentions to become clear The blazed path was bumpy and rocky in places The fire had scorched people along the path and burned their faces The faceless masses gathered to cheer me along Only to be struck down by demons for doing the wrong My face was burned and my hand had were bloodied I knew my path my journey well studied I knew not what the journey would bring And what horrible thing around the next corner would spring Still I cut down the enemy and forged my way And watched the night give way to the day When my journey seemed to come to an end I was told I failed and not to try again Thinking on this seemed disaster Wondering what I should do to quell the laughter Laughter of the demons inside Laughter of the ones that stole my pride I fought back the dogs of ravenous thieves And shuffled my feet in dried up leaves Alerting all that were left to fight That I was still alive in this frightful night...
