One Chosen by the Gods - Aether Realm

I am one chosen by the gods

As the down begins to break

We march to meet the horde

Invaders armed with spear and sword

Ten thousand legions strong

A loathsome blot upon the land

I thirst to see their blood upon my hands

Outnumbered ten to one

The air is heavy, as the sun

Begins to draw the sweat from every man

Oh, a sudden change

My breath, it catches in my throat

I falter from the pain

And filled with fear

I turn to flee

Oh, what have I done?

I’ve left my men to certain death

A coward’s mark upon my head

But wait, for in my path

A shadow looms and speaks to me

Turn and fight

Harness your heathen might

You will take revenge for the fallen ones

An eerie light descends

A sudden peace from the wind

A new sensation overcoming me

Now filled with lust for blood

I turn and tear back

To the site where courage faltered for me

Oh, I can’t believe

The sight obscene

The field of dead

Stretching far as eye can see

Oh, I’ve failed them

I have forsaken my only calling

Oh, retribution

My only wish, but how?

No map to guide my feet

I’ll guide you, I’ll find your way

The shadow spoke to me

I am

I am

I am one

One chosen by the gods

With nothing left to lose

I step back to the fray

Their force asleep and none will ever see another day

My courage has been found

Begin to cut them down

Revenge, revenge is my name

Death is their only destiny

My blades are dancing in perfect unity

Releasing my rage for what seems like eternity

What the gods have wrought in you today, let no man tear asunder

I wish to return to ethereal state

No pain or feeling

Relenquish my body in the darkened night

I slowly drift away

Leaving my body I’m finally free

No physical traits

The perfect being

Rush of color, divine new realm

Come with me, Come with me

I am one chosen by the gods
