Betrayal from Betrayal by Necropanther

Is this the reward that we
Fought and suffered for?
Is this craven wasteland
All we can call home?

Crammed into grimy rooms,
Labor for lousy pay,
For kings’ impunity,
Dread each dawn the day.

Treasure for the taking
Of a miserable share.
The choice is oblivion
Or a life of despair.

Is this all our brothers
Sacrificed and died for?
Witnessed our friends fallen,
The casualties of war.

Will our sun rise
On the sea?
Orange light guides
Destiny.

Look back to hell immortal.

Exhausted, meditate
Across the open sky.
Imagine vagabonds,
Western winds arise.

From ordeal and passage,
Experience thereby:
Covenant is real,
Authority the lie.

Maybe I should take off
And leave it all behind,
Vacant life, poor choices,
Ideals unrefined.

Outcasts of society,
Forgotten rejects,
All the flawed companions,
The only way to earn our respect.

This cursed life,
Unfulfilled,
Our endured
Wretched fall.

Our moon will rise
On Hades.
Darkness guides,
Blasphemy.
Upon wine-dark seas set sail
Into black horizons,
Demons piercing the black veil
Down to hell.
