Legacy Of Loss

Vale Of Pnath

I am the messenger of the ages, brought forth to sow the seeds of despair
 I am the wolf to lead your flock astray
 And those who follow me shall be met by death
 Your children will live on your remains and your kingdom will dissolve at my wake

 Listen to the words I speak:
 Your judgement is determined not by your god (absent is your god)
 Your actions shall be tried by the generations to come
 I come in the name of indulgence

 Every passing moment I am fed
 As the fight for survival becomes a conquest for power
 As the conquest for power is met with a life of ease (as this life of ease cradles the feeble)
 As you forget what it means to fend for yourself
 Your society crumbles at my feet
 I have become too powerful to defeat
 I come in the name of greed

 Look at me; I am the future
 Embrace me; I am your fate
 Fear me; I can destroy you
 Hate me; I have been created by you

 I am the messenger of the ages, brought forth to sow the seeds of despair
 I am the wolf to lead your flock astray
 And those who follow me shall be met by death

 You have sealed your future -- its stale fate a crippled skeleton of the past
 You have condemned your children to burn from the flames from the fires of your greed

 Now you serve me
 Say goodbye to your world
 Say goodbye to your precious possessions
 Now you serve me
 Say goodbye to your precious future

 I am the enforcer of the things to come -- the raven feasting on this carrion
 Your decisions have led you to me, and I will make you suffer
 You've lived your lives with everything you need
 Even the poor participate in greed
 And now the time has come and you'll burn at the stake
 The embers rising higher from the choices that you made

 Soon the world will be free of its curse
 Soon the Earth shall once more be cleansed to start again
 The enforcer of things to come
 Say goodbye
 You shall be no more
