A soul adrift in endless night Chashing vengeance, losing light With eyes of fire, heart of stone, A path walked lonely all his own The pain of loss, the weight of rage Bound to a past that won't unpage Yet in the silence, deep inside A flicker of hope, a place to hide Not all is lost, not all is cold For even shadows seek the bold Through every storm, through every scar, He learns to heal beneath the stars A heart once broken, now renewed By bonds unseen, by love unveiled Not just a warrior, not just a name A soul reborn, beyond the flame By -V.
