VIII

Into the chamber
Into the lair
I see a sad old man
Just standing there
Feels like I know him
He looks in my eyes
And as he starts to speak
I lower the knife
I know all about you
I know all your fears
I knew you as a child
And why you think you’re here
You think you can kill me
But you don’t have a plan
It won’t be much longer now
Til you understand
So now you’ve found your failure
Stand down and try to swallow your shame
Cause you have no power
Just anger and pride
Strong on the surface
But hollow inside
You won’t be a hero
It was not meant to be
But you had one last chance
I wish you had seen
