Victorious, I

One life time has never been enough for me

I have set my hungry eyes on infinity

Against the frost broken free from frigid ground

And I swear I shall never again be bound

Forged from the crucible devoid of remorse

Hammered and honed, turned keen from coarse

Tempered in the flames brought forth by my ire

Fuelled by the loathing for those who'll steal my fire

Impervious, unconquerable

With deadly pride in each end denied

I am the embodiment of defiance!

Verging on immortality

To strive for and become

Rigid, steadfast, victorious I!

Striding through each endless battlefield

This prize, my life, I will never yield

To challenge my existence, not coerced by fear

So formidable a foe will never, I know, appear

Every bearing set against the raging storms

To traverse the arduous path, shunning all the norms

Following this road I've paved with broken dreams

All enemies remain in ashes and dust it seems

One truth so hopeless to deny

They say; time finds us all

Yet as the sands run out

I shall not fall!

Come end, come bane and scourge,

All envoys to the grave

Far from reach of raven-claws,

Such savage scythes, for me they crave

Impervious, unconquerable

With deadly pride in each end denied

I am the embodiment of defiance!

Verging on immortality

To strive for and become

Rigid, steadfast, victorious I!

"Chosen of war who makes a battle

With great iron and fire,

Be with peace and follow me away

From this enterprise of futility

Set as the jewelled crown of most

And every man's desire,

Through the conquest of life obtained

Though at my gates all must stand with humility."

Come death, dusk and demise

All heralds of the tomb

Like a reed to the reapers will,

I bow to my doom
