Reign of Darkness
The Light is deadDefeated in his arroganceTortured for his unwillingnessTo wage the war we were ready to fight We now rule CreationWhat was holy and pureNow stained with the bloodOf the one which it all began Soon we will begin our final attackDestroying the rest who chooseTo fight their fightAnd follow the path of light…
