Tears of Blood

It is amazing is it not?
how a dam could burst open,
with no fore warning?
the terror and carnage it leaves in its wake…

Once upon a time, it was a raging river
full of monsters and souls of the past
led by a demon of witchcraft
his was a dark soul, of pain and anger

in ages past, the demon was not so
he would keep to himself in the woods
alone in his tower
he preferred peace and solitude

One day, things went terribly wrong!
the demon roared a terrible cry from his tower in the woods
all the villagers by the woods felt a chilling fear
no one knows what changed the demon till this day

All of a sudden, sounds of trees crashing could be heard
and a river of horrific monsters and
deathly white figures came forth!
nothing was spared in its path, all things perished

after a time, the tide subsided
there was a man by the demon, in the heart of the woods
he looked extremely sad, the demon was whispering to him
tears of blood were streaking down both their eyes

“why did u do what u did?”
“Tis between me and my maker” answered the demon.
“why do u need tears from your soul?”
“To see if it is still possible to tear” sighed the demon.

And with that the demon and his horde vanished!
the man built a dam there, to prevent future destruction
in his heart he steeled him self from what the demon had revealed to him
but he failed to realize, the water of hatred eats even the strongest steel

and for a long time, there was peace
but, whenever the man has a moment of weakness
a crack would appear on the dam
sadly, no-one noticed this…

And one fine day, the man remembered his greatest loss.
it then dawned on him, the demon never vanished,
it was within him all this time. And now,
the demon was awake, tears of blood streaked down his face

And behold! the dam burst open!
and everything that lay in its wake are no more
the man was spared, for the demon is his “other”
and he walks the earth, alone, to this day…

he came to be Witch-king…
