Last Shadow

Last Shadow

A Poem by Gerhardus Retief

Last shadow heading right into the endless light.
How can it be that it does not fade in fright?
It has a champion's silent roar with all the dark might.
Infecting every glistering grasp with it's blight.

The fallen one won't leave the halls of vaught.
Remembering everything that it has been taught.
No hero in the world would fight this endless caught.
There is no choice it can't fade with sought.

Green beeping light shows the heart pumping blackened hate.
It calls upon the shadow's last trembling fate.
Pulling on the unholy prayer to open the 9th gate.
Is it too late to start a last stand to this unwanted debate?

Sacrifice oh sacrifice sings the legions from under the feet.
There is no bastion where they wouldn't meet
Even betray each other from they have learned in discreet.
The last shadow is so unspeaking inside the mental fleet.
