The Assassin

Darkly silent; silently deadly
Cutting a swath of madness.
Using his sword, losing his soul
Whatever became of the boy?

One cut to bleed in remembrance
A second cut to heal shattered ideals.

A man, a demon--a boy.
A child lost to the oblivion of violence
Forced to leave innocence behind.
Was it worth all the blood?

To live a nightmare--
To walk in shadows--

He killed for freedom
Swam rivers of blood.
Feared, hated--friendless
Doomed to be forgotten, sentenced to be alone.
