Spawn of Nemesis

My body a float, my ships ablaze

drifting into the last whisps of haze.

I stare into the sun

and feel it glare right past me.

 

Wind whips my face, hair adrift in mirk

I think back to when that devious smirk

sent me away

and doomed all of my men...

 

The sand gripped me back, on the beach of my birth

twas the first step I took, into the future, inevitable dearth.

Doomed from the start

but far too blind to see

 

There on her pedestal, she once was my queen

this far from the shore, her gaze has no chains on me.

twas the hero of yore

absent my name, in the lore

 

The villain she made me, the destroyer of homes

wasting innocent people, a case of Fomes

has tainted my heart

and wilted me from the inside

 

Irreparable the damage of that Asp in the sand

holding me close, promising her hand

and cast me away

cast me away

cast me away

 

 

 

Sickly and venom-ridden, my soul and my mind

dreams of the woman who I must soon chide

I float in the mirk

Apollo wont watch me now

 

I pray to a god, in hopes I catch ear

and am given a chance to return from here

return from here

hand wrapped around spear

 

cast away away from home

into parts unknown

dying cold in the waters

most stranger to me

most stranger to me

most stranger...

 

Dear gods hear my plee

give me one last chance

to exact my revenge

and pay my way home

down straight into hell

with her head in my hands

Shallow eye-light guiding my way
