[hometext] => Stanzas 3-6 are supposed to appear beside 1-3 respectively, but I had trouble with the alignment function.
[bodytext] => Ye nameless, faceless, strike me down Should from thy holy path I stray If even once I wear a frown May both my flesh and bones decay I feel a fire beckoning To transcend mortal bounds To become more than lord or king This, in my heart, resounds Yet this is only part of thee My wish it cannot truly be For only what ye show I see And that is well enough for me. ___________________________ Great flaring flame turns dead as dust When its light strikes my eye My mind is lost in logic's trust From it too free to fly Satanic sorrow sweeps my soul Despairing loss of summer rain His venom throws me to the void My body racked in endless pain Here heroes burn and suffocate In frozen darkness cruel Their blades worn dull 'gainst walls of fate Made Hope's eternal fools ___________________________ What force sustains these titans bold That in the face of Hell won't fold? Go now, stand thee beside them and all the world behold.
