Fire Trolls

Hum

Hum

Hum

Darkness broken up as I enter

Hum

Hum

Hum

More faint sounds of whispers

Hum

Hum

Hum

“There’s a liar now”

Hum

Hum

Hum

“I smell fire now”

Hum

Hum

Hum

And they leap down to me just like broken glass

Rotted rats

Fire trolls carrying bats

This their trap

Silence elapse

Now it’s time for angry laughs

“Hey

Small kid

Little pawn

New kin”

“Take a deep look in my eyes

And see who’s seeing you

Think of the old tears you’ve cried

Before you cry anew”

“You’d better turn around right now

It’s the best thing to do

Remain yourself a longing sow

Lest you join in on our crew”

“All that stands before you’s pain

A torturous Pixen ruse

Might as well stay in your chains

There’s nothing here for you”

Slowly I try to retort

But its words shake me to my bones

How could I get through this fort

When I failed to defend my home

“Young lad it’s no use feeling

Like you’re not who you are

Love yourself and stop reeling

It’s really much less hard”

“We all came here just because

We’re just the same as you

The reason we’re just trodding mud’s

Because we always lose”

And they chant and they chant around me now

“Dark

Ness

Nothing

Less”

“Nothing

More

In this big gray world”

“We ought to leave it

Were we not so conceited

We’ll just keep walking

Back and forth”

“But you’ve got a choice

Yes

You’ve got a voice

Deep as it is

It’s enough to turn in”

“Go tell the green dragon

High up above

That you wanna leave

And he’ll set you free”

I don’t wanna leave

I can’t run away

I’ve flown too far

To give up this feeling

I won’t listen

I won’t hear

“My goal is to glisten

It’s stronger than fear”

“Well so be it

Broken fool

Take one big step

Into these woods”

“The trees are longer

Than the greatest of dreams

And the pain is wronger

Than the loudest of screams”

“You will suffer

You will cry

But just like us

You’ll never die”

“Keep your body

Heal your soul

That’s how it is

For us fire trolls”

I refuse as I run away

My name off their lips

My own kind I betray

I’m not you and

You’re not me

My wish lies with the Pixen queen
