| �Before the demon and before the lords� �Before the magic and before the swords� �Before the treachery and ill-gained rewards� �There was only the soldier, known only as such� �Over the star ocean, his legends been spread� �The land of the living; land of the dead� �And though many have tried, it�s always been said� �Close to the soldier, but never as such.� �Gallant knights, their valor will rise� �And of their power no man denies� �But such a strength can only grow so much� �Strong like the soldier, but never as such� �Cleaver sentry will devise� �The greatest seizure beneath the skies� �But with whimsical wit and meticulous lies� �Smart like the soldier, but never as such� �How can I be like him? The patrons will say� �It�s easy I�ll respond; throw your morals away� �Walk the path of destruction and strife� �Kill off your comrades, surrender your life� �And then I�ll give you the power you seek� �To live a life full of lies and deceit� �For people this day are too swift and too fast� �To judge by the present and never the past� �Conceive with your mind and not with your eyes� �It is then my friend that you�ll realize� �Look chastely young one or suffer the fate� �Death to the soldier and all who equate!� |
