The Ballad of Solus

I prowl the world with a hand on my blade

I answer to few, I know nothing of friends.

Betrayal has hardened this monster they made

I bow only to chaos, a means to an end.

I do what I must to get what I need

I see only what I can take in their eyes.

I live for the day when my anger is freed

I smile behind the mask of my lies.

I will break you with words or I’ll break you with flames

You are nothing but what you can offer to me.

I’ll give you no mercy, I grant only pain

So pray for your death if you wish to be free.

I learned long ago there was only one way

The rest is a lie, there is no other life.

They bleed at your feet and you do as you may

Or they step on your back and you die by their knife.
