Loveless Poem

Prologue 
When the war of the beasts brings about the world’s end 
The goddess descends from the sky 
Wings of light and dark spread afar 
She guides us to bliss, her gift everlasting.
Act I 
Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess
We seek it thus, and take it to the sky 
Ripples form on the water’s surface
The wandering soul knows no rest.
Act II 
There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn,
Healer of worlds Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost Wings stripped away, the end is nigh.
Act III 
My friend, do you fly away now?
To a world that abhors you and I? 
All that awaits you is a somber morrow 
No matter where the winds may blow
My friend, your desire Is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess
Even if the morrow is barren of promises 
Nothing shall forestall my return. 
Act IV 
My friend, the fates are cruel 
There are no dreams, no honor remains 
The arrow has left the bow of the goddess
My soul, corrupted by vengeance
Hath endured torment, to find the end of the journey
In my own salvation
And your eternal 
Legend shall speak Of sacrifice at world’s end 
The wind sails over the water’s surface Quietly, but surely
 Act V 
Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return 
To become the dew that quenches the land 
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice.
