The Ritual of the Warrior

[kingcobra]

I have faced Fear
I have seen Fear's countenance
I have tasted Fear's bitter herbs
I have felt Fear's stinging blade
I have heard Fear's thunder

I am Fear

I will pass through the fire and it will not burn

[kingcobra]

I have been defeated by Anger
I have surrendered to Anger
I have no ally in Anger
The voice of Anger rattles in my bones

I am Anger

I may be vanquished by my foe on the field, but Anger shall no longer pierce my armor

[kingcobra]

I have heard the voice of Destiny
It is the sound of a million songbirds
Just over the next ridge
His eyes are black holes that swallow galaxies
His shield is made of stars that shine so bright
That he is concealed from our view

Destiny has cast me in a role in his drama

We roll onto the killing field as Destiny pulls my reins
