'What fires burn within my heart and
force me to contend with the perils that
await me at this tragic journeys end? '
'I have walked the roads that lead to Hell,
I have challenged all but fate. I have fought
and bled and carried on just to reach this final gate.
And now the task before me looms, this dire deed undone;
I shall make my stand against the three until the battles won.'
'What fear or wound could ever still this last defiant cry,
as I stand against the shadow 'neath the endless burning sky? '
