Welcome my friend
Welcome to the end
Well your end, anyways
It's been quite a journey, has it not?
A chase, a thrill
Such sublime efforts of will
Moral gymnastics and intrigue
To reach this final sprint
A veritable treasure trove
Of love and loss, glory and guilt
So much blood and treasure
Gained and lost along the way
Now here and alone
Your finery and vestments stripped
Your allies and brave hope
A trail of corpses in your wake
While you never looked back
Oh, maybe once looked back
So much betrayal too
For beauty and love
Lust and greed
To fulfill those yawning needs
Too bad there's no time to dwell
On those questionable ends
Did they justify the means?
Welcome friend
Your end, anyways
Been long over due
Turn now and embrace it
Or fight
