Heart Of Darkness

Countless battles I fight
My sword is always by my side
The reason I always go ahead
Is that I truly love my woman...

Cold steel is unconditionally devoted friend
One that will never fail,
Never bend, until its very end
So when I fight, I trust my friend...

Years passed in many wars
Many battles tested my skill,
Hardening my mind and muscles
Hardening my senses, my will...

Even harder battles I enjoyed
making me to crave for their end
For I knew what lied beneath them
My victory and prize was my love...

My precious love was waiting me
to heal my wounds, to give me
Strength and warmness, when I need them
All the time, she was in my dreams, I heed them...

But one shiny day, as I was
fighting for my cause, my love
I felt sudden change, disturbance
In the power source, that flew away like dove...

And when again I sought
my rest and pleasure into my love
She was gone away, I thought
A moment for her to rest it is...

Alas, it was not the rest that
she sought... But another man
she gave her heart to, carelessly
Condemning me to misery...

Confused I was, because she
was my love... my sacred, loving him...
My trust was gone with the wind
All I fought was turning into myth...

With reasons gone to hell
I had to continue, because my battles never end...
My enemies doubled, I had to struck into them
The screaming pain, their hearts to freeze...

Abandoned and alone I stood
In the middle of the battlefield
My sword is singing its deadly song
In spite the odds against me, I won...

The point of no return is reached
No one can ever see my love again
No one may ever touch my heart again
To give me rest, to deceive me again...

Countless victories I reaped, then – silence…
My bloody sword is always by my side
No longer I need to bear the burden of the false love
No longer I feel it, for now I posess a heart of darkness…
