Alliance

I was ready to fight my way 

across the island and the bridge alone

and then I saw the host

rising in the distance 

bearing the banners of allies

how my heart and my blood 

are singing now.


I hope you can feel

each of you

what a chance at victory means to me 

how it feels to have the life-spark

ablaze again

within me like a phoenix rising.


I can run forward, now

towards my death

knowing that we go together 

and that we will greet each other

on the other side

when we are gathered back

into the arms of the gods.
