My claws search in the dirt for the truth

I caught its scent on emerging trees' roots

My heart knows no more rest

Now that my eyes prey on the unseen

Renegate

« I’ll give you visions and all I demand from you is following what I show you in them and then you shall have it all»

And so spoke the spirit and left with a sarcastic laugh

He woke up terrified and trembling

His heart pounding as if it wants to get off of his chest

He shall know no more peace

He knew it then before witnessing the calamities brought upon the world for years

Why him? Of all the people in the world, in all the hundreds of centuries

How was he able to read the ancient script? How could he understand a lost language which no one could decipher? How the fate of a whole world could be affected by the words of one page?

It doesn’t matter now to know the answers of these questions

Humanity has done its worse and brought suffering upon every living creature

And he stood upon the pile of the dead dreams and butchered innocence helpless

He was tricked

He was fooled

And he’s the only one to blame

For bringing on his kind the shame

By the devil he was cunningly framed

And thus became the disgraceful damned

All cheered and hailed

When the priest revealed the signs ordained

For the world’s savior to come

After the noise, a silence was abrupt

All heads turned towards the young man who shouted

« We failed! We failed! We failed ! »

People urged him to shush but he ignored their plead

And the priest exclaimed: “Allow him to speak!”

It’s then when the young man rose from his seat

He leaped in frenzy from bench to bench

Holding a knife to his right hand

And made it to where the priest stands

When face to face the priest cried

And called for the help of the cop at first line

Who immediately fired towards the young man’s chest

The latter didn’t put much of a fight

And left on the wall a perpendicular scratch

Where now it reads: “In Gold we trust”
