Redemption
I became a shadow long
standing silent in the Grey,
as existence fades to naught
I am thankful of each day
my tainted soul is past repent
a fable sung and danced to dread,
A life sentence is now paid in pain
in effigy silenced until I am dead
beyond a mound death sits in wait
acknowledged my road is paved with fire,
as damnation's mirror cracks
even a broken heart can refuse to tire
the gates to hell will swing for me
and the hellfire's engulf my hide,
but I will cackle with joy and glee
the comedy of my life was undenied
writhing in flames a war-cry will release
my body and soul into a cradle of peace
