I have tried
and I wonder about my trying
Does it matter that I try
when you accuse me of not trying
To you I am a ghost
only a means to an end
And you always side against me
That is why I hate you

You don't even consider my side
You are quick to blame me
because it keeps your corpse from the fire
I promise you I will not burn
I will be the whirlwind
I will be the storm when you beset me
And I will turn your fire back on you

You will learn to hate me
just like all the others who have no honor
But you will respect me after this
After today
You will consider my truth
or we will perish together
in never ending fights
We will perish not because I killed you
but because you sank our boat
and making a name for your self
made you miss the truth

You need me to survive

Consider this when you wish to vanquish your next hero
