Dark Winged Rider

              Evil, have thy face I seen?

                       Evil, just perhaps a dream?

                             Hate within, has no one seen?

                                  Root, destroy, then redeem.

              Enemy without, within

                       Mine alone to defend

                              against blackness of the soul,

                       Eternal battle fought and then,

                              dark winged rider

                                       rides again.

              Evil within my soul

                      Seeks to search and destroy

                            Light of one who is my own

                                  Blackest war waged within.
