The world always changes
Campaign smashed on Red Walled Stones
Punctured with stolen arrows
Burned by boats.
The world always shifts
Loyalties switch without warning
Temples ambushed and razed
Lords die
The world will mutate.
A love shall turn towards hatred.
Poisoned by an outsider
When trust given
Still, the world grows
Kingdoms established after defeat
Nations unified in the wake of betrayal
And what of me?
An era ends for myself
Wiped away in a flash
Still many remain.
Yes I survive.
The heath is blasted
My home lost again
I sleep in a strange house
Ah, but I live.
I know who’s besides me now
What values I have truly
And how that shows in my love
That will be enough.
Because the best growth
Comes after the old disease
Is burned away.
Onward into New Year’s light.
