Last time I promised to tell you a story
but couldn't, for then fell the nights veil
These are the words of horror, not of glory,
so be braced, it is time for a tale:

- - -

The Goddess, poisoned of mind
had a plan of which to me she did not tell
She would help me, so my love I could find
and then send us together to Hell

Out of envious love she would do this
and out of furious rage
She would rip us off of our bliss
and place us in a fiery cage

- - -

She appeared to the edge of the pond
and spoke these words through tears
"You know not that of You I am fond.
Love me now, or face your deepest fears!"

She understood my answer as I grasped my sword
and cast a dark spell, then took a step back
Thru mists of time came the words of the Dark Lord:
"Welcome to my domain." and all went black

- - -

We were spun in time and spun thru place
we were spun and spun and spun
We were spun before the Dark Lords face
to a world void of golden rays of the Sun

Hellions fell upon us, they fell with numbers too high
pressing hard, almost to our death it came
Back to back we fought, my Love and I,
but suddenly it stopped, the wild now tame

Upon us he gazed, then upon us he spoke
as he strode from the Shadows of Flame
"Be it final death to whom takes the first stroke,
hear me now, for only once I make this claim!"

We did battle with the Lord of Agony and Grief
we battled, and nigh was our win
I struck his chest and for a moment so brief
Time stopped; as if to touch His chin

Then came a flash that blinded our eyes
the Lord lay, breathing with a dying tone
with his last breath he gave us his prize
"Just look Beyond the fire and you shall be home."

This we did, and indeed we did with joy
and true his words, for we passed the Veil;
That day marked also the birth of our Boy
but his deeds, they are yet another tale
