He came in the night, and took all the souls
The whisperer of darkness, Caller of angels
Trapped in this world

Two swords, blades were crossed
These deadly weapons, brought to life
Forged on earth, unbreakable steel

He travelled the world searching out all the sinners
His army now grown, Formed over the years

The time as come for the war to begin
The goodness of the world, against all this sin

Who will win in this long awaited war
Will it be the goodness, purest of hearts
Or will it be the sinner, darkest heart of all

Out of the mist came a man with two swords
One blade of goodness, one blade of hatred
His heart good and evil
Whats does this mean to all of these people

He stood on the battle field right in the middle
Held out his blades and shouted
“I am the being that follows no leader
Join me now and ill spare your souls”

All they just laughed and took out there guns
Firing on him left a white cloud of dust
They all waited smoke fading fast
There he stood without a wound

He swords moved so smooth
He cut all the bullets in two
They lay at his feet
As he grinned at the crowd now gathered around
They bowed to his feet and joined both sides
Good and hate combined as one

This man turned to dust
And travelled into each of them
Forming this new race

Many years past
And to this very day
The race now called humans
Don’t know how they were man

Except one boy who wrote this down
His soul been the soul
Of the creator of all

Now this boy shares both hate and happiness
But is lost in the mist
Without the answers to the questions
Now he’s not human
Just a being of the past
Looking for a peace that will never come…

This so sounds a little like a short version of "The Lord of the Rings". I really liked it a lot.

Cold hands means a warm heart

This was awesome!
Haven't seen any fantasy around the boards lately, and it's very refreshing.
Very original too, this was like a new poetic creation myth!
