Withstand the winds of fury

Outlast the waves of pain

Nothing that you see around you

Matters but the ground you hold

Stand still, firm and silent

In the face of the brewing storm

Never waste a single glance to look behind

Forward is where we charge

How would you shape your fate?

A flash of glory into the fight

Or a lifetime safe in chains?

Look deep inside yourself

Follow no one’s footprints

No time for doubts

Now is where the future begins

To waver, to stagnate

Means to degenerate

Nothing’s certain, nothing’s eternal

In a world on borrowed time

Make your mind for days are numbered

Sleepers’ eyelids shall soon be torn

When all that’s left of this rotten age

Are bones for iron boots to march upon

Transcend all boundaries

That feed your will’s discontent

Lead yourself on

Unrestrained , unbroken, unbent

Do you know the deeds of polymorphic speciousness?

Can you envisage whence the sword will aim for your back?

To stare into their eyes and leave them unsuspecting

Is the mark of the true conqueror, stealthily out for the kill

Do not deny your fear – employ its guidance

Never let your rage transpire before you’ve cornered your prey

Always on guard, observe and memorize

Plan your every footstep beforehand, then act without thinking twice

(This deceitful incarnation reflects nothing of what you carry inside,

the fires they keep stoking with their sickening presence, soon to be reduced to insignificant ashes)

Meet the day with clandestine hostility

Remember every wound, exact revenge with pride

Manipulate the feeble, teach fear to those who oppose

Inflict misery on the fools who fail to learn

Only wolves can thrive in a land swarming with sheep

Let them hurt each other, harvest your share as they weep

Never compromise the feelings keeping you alive

Years of hardship pay off well when reaping times arrive

Clenched teeth, clenched fists

On through the fray

Burning eyes, burning heart

Firm minds cannot be led astray
