The Castle rocks once again with an assult,
I feel like I'm trapped in a dark corner of my room,
but yet this isnt really my room is it?
This is my mind,
I can't stop fighting myself,
being overwhelmed with negativity.

My troops below me fought bravely,
if they had emotions they would have honor,
if they had a family to return to they would fight harder,
but as relentless as they may be when they lose an apendage or are damaged,
my macheines can only have so much power,
so much function,
before they break down or are destroyed.

The opponents continue to press on,
they overwhelm my macheines,
the blodthirsty demons know no boundrys,
they have nothing to lose,
they only have there lives and weapons,
so they leap into the oposition like a devil and take so many down.

Its as if they stretch all the way out into the horizon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They overwhelm me,
I feel like I can hardly breath throughout the day,
all this negativity is drowning me,
sucking me into an early grave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There mages throw bolts of lightning and meteors at the castle,
what the enemy troops are unable to do to me the mages can,
my castle continues to stand but it's so heavily damaged.
I can hear Sax lauphing at me right now.

Already I'm collapsing,
already bricks of the castle cascade down onto the battle below,
I'm afraid to go near the edge,
I'm afraid I'll get pulled down even further,
I dare not turn on a light,
I do not wish to be fired upon.

Off in the distance I can see reinforcements coming,
I know there not my own,
all I have is focused upon this neverending battle,
should this fail I shall fall...

But there not the demons!
I can see Wurms and Elves and assorted wildlife and animated Trees!
I know these troops,
some already are in the battle,
I've already been aided by this ally before,
these are Kelly's troops,
she wishes to pull off the demonic fire from me,
this whole battle has been put into a standstill,
but I know I can't negotiate,
however this allows me to regroup and press on forward.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My sweetheart's been there for me,
she says that if I do decide to talk to someone,
that yes,
she will be there for me,
she'll be there right by my side to help me,
she'll be there like she's always been,
I damn my mother for wanting me to not care for that girl!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reinforcements from the sky,
new unusual forces,
but there in leauge with the demons!
They drop bombs of fire upon my machines,
they melt,
they do not scream,
they continue to try to fight,
they break down,
they are destroyed,
I still have more and retaliate in kind,
the sky-ships misfire and drop upon there own,
some divide off and try to fend off Kelly's reinforcements.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I always find peice within the graveyards,
the death all around and silent respect bring upon an errie quiet to the area,
it lets me think clearer,
it helps me relax,
it keeps my from collapsing from the war within myself
that has only now been put into a standstill.
