Shadow’ s Rise
The day the shadows rise, Is the day man’ s reign will end. Corrupting the souls of man, And engulfing the shining lights. The sun will darken, And no longer shine. The grass will turn gray, And flowers will wilt. Existing only to corrupt all of mankind.
But it was sealed away in ancient stone, By warriors Pure and true. After a war that lasted hundreds of years, and ruined the land and all.
But legends tell, Of shadow’ s return, And the corruption of the land and people.
Yet light will shine, Until it’ s demise, If only to stall for time.
