Skies of bloody crimson death circle above
Crows pecking at the sins escaping higher than they should
Upon the shores of my mind souls find a home
Haunting my waking till my sleepless nights are none.

The rain cries my tears for I am a man without pain
Emotionless the machine created on its own
What is love to me but a ridding of desires?
Greater things await me than the family of long life.

My name shall be written in the sands unwashed away
every step I take is walked again by no other
I am their hopes and desires the hero saving cowards
Leading men towards their ends without been named the leader.

I choose a life within short span to live forever unlike man
And upon my deathbed all my sins shall leave
Forgiveness granted to a warrior without dreams
and there I take my place in hell smiling as I do.

"My name shall be written in the sands unwashed away

Chilling but interesting thoughts here.
I could imagine a terrorist leader saying this.
"Forgiveness granted to a warrior without dreams
and there I take my place in hell smiling as I do."
Since Dave didn't understand why that thought came to mind, thought I'd clarify which lines made me feel this was an anti-hero, or one who glorified himself at the expense of others. If I misread, I am sorry, but that;s how it hit me in the initial reading.

Good honest write and I dont imagine Terror Leaders in your words and I am appalled that someone should suggest it.
