Sacrifice (poem)

[Master Warious]

Sacrifice

By Tiger Wolf Hawk (Master Warious)


Riders on black horses
Riding in the black of night
Who are they?
Why have they come?

Blazing eyes of red
Foam glowing white
The Night Mares have come
Harbingers of Death

The riders dressed in sheets of white
Men of cruelty
Men of HATE!
They care not for life

I stand alone on my hill
I see them come
I will not be moved
I must not let them through

A week ago I saved a life
Of one who was ‘unfit to live’<br>My wrath drove them back
But I knew they would come again

I couldn’t let them kill
My life is given for others
Freak or monstrous
I will not turn my head

They called him a freak
They called him Monster
I called him friend
I called him Angel

Now he is safe from them
I don’t fear for my life
But I must give my life
To keep him safe

They are coming up the hill
Those riders of black horses
Their white robes to become red
Here I make my stand

As I lay here dieing
The dirty deed done
A song is heard all around
The beauty of music

I lay here alone
As the music soars and swells
My eyes see the sky open upon me
The Angels have come to take me home
