Caught within the scenes of time the warrior wakes again to find  A prologue set by twilight rays through the breaking dawn  A dawn unlike no other dawn as backdrop to proscenium  The cursed cycle starts anew Himself "cast" down as lead  On his feet a legend and on his throne a lord  Bathed in crimson glory so the centuries have foretold  The advent of the day when pale untruths shall be no more  Usurping the hands of Fate  Now to leave the dismal place and setting eastward the course he takes  Skirts alongside the stagnant pond whose waters swirl with taint  [For] Within the fetid mists and foul decay which on the natatorium lay  The source of evils yet to be lie in wait  Further east and all the while  His grand design is planned  Obscuration of the light [when] the balance is destroyed  Ushering the epoch of the splendorous Unlight  "…And so I set forth my mind resolute and might unchecked to rend my will upon the world. With centuries to prepare for the final battle and the glory that awaits in every drop of life…"  Lust forever, lust for life,  A lust Unmatched in human kind  Fueled by such desires  As may mold flesh to my want  "Beauty as Might, and Might as Right"  So seduced the lord  From wanton whores the bloodsons came  In legion issued forth  Cursed for all eternity  As seen by another also condemned  Before the final blow is dealt  What will be has been!  …Too late the error revealed. The unparalleled pride of the ancient one now splintered through all the ages. With glory for one the ideal is lost, as is the war…  Gone is the path to victory besmeared by consanguine wars  Arrogance in the sons that I was fated to ignore  For a greater lust that by design will never sate  An all-consuming hunger unified by blackened hate  A pause to look upon the world before I am reborn  …A brilliant flash of light and the One Great Truth revealed  The pain of clarity just seconds before oblivion and the slate is again wiped clean  Where one time ends, another begins  Caught within the scenes of Time…
