A Hero Fallen
I understand your pain
It is hard to eat the flesh
when everything around
you is decaying
You thirst for it
To be dipped in
Just one last time
Bones breaking as you gaze
Yet they feel no pain
Show no emotion
It is hard to understand
But they are not the ones
The lifeless bodies before you
But you have checked out
You rose to the challenge
Tried to conquer the world
And now all that is left
Is your empty shell
Tortured and alone
It is hard to eat the flesh
when everything around
you is decaying
You thirst for it
To be dipped in
Just one last time
Bones breaking as you gaze
Yet they feel no pain
Show no emotion
It is hard to understand
But they are not the ones
The lifeless bodies before you
But you have checked out
You rose to the challenge
Tried to conquer the world
And now all that is left
Is your empty shell
Tortured and alone
