Fear and confusion,
Love and hate,
What draws these opposites
To their fate?

A war within me
Builds with age,
A deep and
Uncontrollable rage.

I feel it coming on
Like wasps in the park,
A powerful fusion
Of light and dark.

I feel it building
Inside my soul!
The power intoxicates me;
I lose control!

I target all
Who’d hurt my friends,
My enemies now
Are sent to their ends.

A warrior is born
Of courage to fight,
A sorcerer, of knowledge,
A healer, of right.

A thief is born
From a need to steal;
His beady gaze
Hides what he feels.

But this chaos within me
So deep and vile,
Building in my heart
And my mind all the while!

What can I do?
Take up twin swords and fight:
One forged of Hell’s darkness,
One built of Heaven’s light.

And thus it begins,
True chaos at last!
My power is weak,
But chaos moves fast.

So when they outfight me,
And beat me to no end,
When I’m on the ground,
Defeated again…

I’ll rise to my feet,
I’ll never back down!
Clutch my swords tightly,
And stand my ground.

These barbarians are born
Of honour and might.
They stand no chance
If it’s me they fight.

And your sorcerers so dark,
Your clerics so kind,
Your knights so noble,
Your thieves and their finds…

They’re all so pathetic,
They’re useless to me!
No threat at all,
My eyes do see!

These worthless peasants!
Such a meaningless life;
And they walk these mean streets,
Each one with a knife?

But what’s this? I’m surrounded!
Chaos all around!
It’s been right before me,
In this tiny town.

Chaos is everywhere,
But what fate will be mine?
If my power is everywhere,
It’ll never be fine!

I must gather my strength,
Put my chaos away!
Hide behind “law and order”,
Live to fight another day.

But there’s too much power,
It can’t be contained!
Some, it seems,
Is created from pain.

In the past there was light,
Then darkness fell,
Hurting my world,
And putting me through Hell…

But now there is chaos,
The ultimate might,
What is and what was,
Combining to fight.

And chaos shall rule,
I shall slay this beast!
May the demons be ready;
Tonight they feast!

And with but a nod,
I turn to the gate,
And walk out of town
To challenge fate.

I step into the world,
The Arena of Life,
Feeling like the peasants
With only a knife.

So helpless and weak,
Never felt so alone!
The cold darkness,
Chills me to the bone!

But the light is so warm,
Makes me feel strong!
Have the inn ready,
For I won’t be gone long.
