Sashura (part VIII)

Folder: 
A Fallen Hero

A weapon, forged in the fires of hell
With rage it's shaped and honed
Cristened in the blood of the fallen
Sanctified in the ashes of brimstone


Deep in the darkness, far from hell's blaze
A hero steps forward, to wield the dark blade
A balance is formed between dark and light
The hero with his weapon held high
An angel steps closer, to stand at his side
A demon and his quarry, nowhere in sight
Retreating deep into the depths
Far from the blaze that beckons all in
Separate foes with one common goal


In the hand of our hero
The blade takes its form
Drenched with the blood of fallen souls
Sashura, the name emblazed on the sword


An onslaught of pain from all who have felt
The wrath of death, this weapon has dealt
Flows through the mind of the one in its hold
The outstretched heart of this fallen hero


Beckoning him near, the angel lends hope
To hold the heart of this lost hero's soul
Into the depths of the darkest reach
The angel gives chase to the demon she sakes
The hero follows close, brushing off all the pain
Chasing again this demon, so long ago slain


A falter, a scream, and a drop to his knee
No further can his tattered soul reach
He cries to his angel through shuddered gasps
She rushes to greet him before his collapse
She ushers him out of the depths in the darkest night
Back up to the surface to bask in the light


A moonlit glow, off the blade reflects
An homage to the world it's just left
The crimson blade set ablaze in the glow
Held fast as the darkness of hell is let go


High into the sky, the angel carries his woes
Back up to the clouds where the wounds can be sewn
The hero takes flight in his angel's arms
A feels the last shreds of fear fall from his heart
Upon a cloud, back in paradise
The new sword sheathed by his side
He looks to his angel, fondness in his eyes
"Thank you for saving me from the night"


"My hero, have you not yet realized
That whenever you need, I'm not far from sight
I will chase through any darkness to find
The hand of the man, my own guiding light
So whenever you doubt, or fear, my dear knight
Shed off the fears and look into the sky
I will be waiting, to cast off your fright
And if ever you should need
I'm right by your side, don't you see"


With a smile the hero rests his weary head
Lying close to his angel, no thoughts of the dead


Set out of view, Sashura unshown
Begins to release a soft, pulsing glow
Down in the darkness, the demon now knows
The path to where this hero calls home
