Your End, Anyways

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
