Alone in the dark...

Mysterious Stranger [ Legionista ]

Alone in the dark...

Na wzgorzu, pod uschnietym drzewem siedzi samotna postac. Poprzedniej nocy niesprzyjajace okolicznoci zmusily go do odejscia dlugo przed nastaniem switu, jednak dzis powrocil. Twarz bez wyrazu, szare oczy kiedys pelne pasji, dzis puste, wpatrzone w nieokreslony punkt. Dlugi ciemnoszary plaszcz zlewa sie w jedno z mrokiem i zimna mgla , o pien drzewa oparte harfa i luk. Mimo, ze jest sam, nieznakomy cos mowi, chyba tylko wiatr go slucha...

I dreamt of blood upon the shore,
of eyes that spoke of sin.
The lake was smooth and deep and black
as was her scented skin.
A mask I wore as I approached,
I was what I am not.
And though the pattern was unclear,
its meaning could be bought.
Drawn to Bacchus's abode,
I sought there to conspire.
But it was in the city of the dead
that I found my heart's desire.
The road was blocked, the truth was shunned
the white flag had been raised.
Reversal cost me all I had,
and everything I'd braved.
And then the night became as day,
I glimpsed nature's reddest claw!
The face of fear looked back at me,
as I gazed into the maw.
My last ally laid to waste,
I ran toward the light.
I prayed for one to change my path,
to give me strength to fight.
And then the wheel went round and round,
I could not find my way.
Twelve and three and turn the key,
I heard the madman say.
Deep in the earth I faced a fight
that I could never win.
The blameless and the base destroyed,
and all that might have been.

Gdy tylko pierwsze promienie wschodzacego slonca musna szczyty drzew otaczajacego lasu nieznajomy wstanie i odchodzejdzie w raz z noca...
