Monologue of a Warrior God


Press play before reading. 
Salute. 


 (A lone voice whispers.)


I speak this 

Just like another verse

Following me


In a black hearse 

On my life’s many journeys


A love song to myself

And you


Linked to my eternal sorrow

Trying to fix all your tomorrow's


To create a tale to tell

All new listeners


In the morrow


When they summon my memory

By ringing my golden bells


When I break

This dark Necromancer's Spell


Remembering 

Misfortunes

Suffered

And some deeds


Need to be rebuilt and grew


Things and people 

To be build-up

And renewed


To show them what they didn't do

To help them go where they didn't go


For when humanities spellbound

By a simulated show

Like this


Deprived 

Of a taste of life's sweet kiss


And lost in dark skies

Beyond a Paris

Once created


Trying to live a new life 

In primaeval markets 

Of the Medieval


Where each call  

Is Answered


By old wishes

Now diseased


Lost in a 

A New Age 


Where night and day

Merge


In a perfect storm

A perfect symmetry


Of secret societies

Working in harmony


To separate you and I


I go to war


And it's strange

How we bleed inside 

Because of this need


With internal skies 

Full of memories

Missed


So here I stand

With golden glory 


To tell hints of my old story


I


The inferior God once designed by Sophia's raw desire


I

Her lit fire


The Demiurge

The Gnostic Creator God 

 

An Old Testament 

Who now walks out 


Of his stronghold

Into this world's cold


To repair

The stranglehold


Of The Old Beast

Of Revelations


Once foretold


Send me strength

As I step out 

In prayers


And always believe 


Cum Fide ad Lucem magna res evenire potest.
