This is the tale
Of a man in black

With revenge in sight,
And blade in hand,

He set out to kill
The ones who dared.

The ones who dared
To slander his name.

The ones who dared
To throw him to the flames.

For these are the ones
Who, after all these years

Could not see the face
Would not see the tears.

These are the ones
The ones who dared.

For I am the one
Who they shall fear.
