Embers Of Retribution Poem by Sven Rhoads

They have come and tore my flesh to bone
Burned me to ashes and threw me away
In the darkness between the living and the dead
A hunger was born to rise up again
My insides have all turned to stone
When the stole the very light of day
There is only one image in my head
To defy the odds that became my world

The dying glow of my pain and anger
The hand of love that was a stranger
Burn the sky of my retribution
Rain down now the hell I unleash
The silence inside this darkened hole
Has forged a fire inside of my soul
With discipline and knowledge so sharp
You will be defied, I am stronger than you

I scorch your earth
And turn the tides
For my rebirth
I feel inside
You held me back
I'll rise above
Emerge from black
In your face I'll shove

This retribution shall be mine
Out of the abyss I will climb
So watch it all just come undone
I step from the dark into the sun
