The Red Hood
When once, long ago
I was worn down and abused
The strongest took the spoils, and
Then we fell down at their shoes
But now, they are gone
And my sanity's kept by my chains
So I bear them both in faith and hate
For family and all that remains
Old Kings will fade
When the last of the light's fading too
The castles long have fallen, and
The paintings faded blue
So here, now you stand
We are human yet both something new
The last prize has been taken
Now the Red Hood faces you
Here in the ashes balanced and whole
I endlessly hunger for power of Soul
At the end of all the ages
In the last of my crusades
You're the Red Hood's last contender
And the first one unafraid
I'm regretful to have hurt you
But this world's blood must be spilled
I'll return home as a monster
From this bad dream that I've killed
Fight, to ignite
Not for Gods nor the coming of night
If I'm the last of the men to fall
Then this warrior's growing in might
For fear and for love
And survival when push comes to shove
The Red Hood is coming to take you home
The bearer of Soul and of light
