Colossi

In the mist of this moonlit night I trudge through these forbidden lands On the back of my unfailing mare We convey the maiden deceased Rest now on the Shrine of Worship What must I do to revive? Destroy the idols that line the shrine walls A price heavy to slay these beasts Cast the ancient blade into the pale sky Illuminate paths to colossi released I traverse to leviathan lairs Scattered across the terrain Scale the flesh of the brutes towering Piercing sigils in their manes Blood flows black from the wounds festering Soaking the soils with hate Tendrils emerge from cadavers now slain Embedding a perilous fate Return to temples of the shadow god Phantoms lurk in numbers myriad Effigies befall gargantua Veins pulse with blood of Stygian Voices guide me to the void My flesh corrupted and destroyed Strengthened by forces unknown Reign's chaos has bestowed Traversing through the mire lands Beasts crawl below the shifting sands Into the depths the serpent dwells Surging the discharge of death knell Eyes burning with abhorrent flame Slaughtering all till none remain In pale skies mounting the beast Burning the wounds of the deceased By the horizon Rise above titans A quest fatal Yet this burden belongs only to me Lord Emon marches into the sanctum To revoke my desperate pursuits In fear of possession consuming my soul It's far too late, Dormin has claimed his toll Encased in shadow Tainted seeds now sown To darkness succumb Demon I've become New life granted still To the maiden fell Resurrected from a vortex blinding A horn adorned child breathes still Out of suffering and perseverance Life goes on still in the forbidden lands
