The Price of Revenge

The years became his only guide.

Then came a voice through darkness deep,
A thousand secrets worth the years of grief.

I was buried beneath the stone,
Forgotten by the world I'd known.
But from the ashes, I will rise,
With fire hidden behind my eyes.

The world took everything from me,
Now let it face what I will be.

A friend became a guiding light,
Who taught him knowledge through the night.
A hidden treasure, a new name,
A different man, a different fate.

The Count returned, so calm, so cold,
With every secret bought and sold.

The guilty fell, the debts were paid,
The perfect plans were carefully laid.
But every victory carried pain,
And nothing brought his past again.

A kingdom built on suffering,
Can never heal the wound within.

I was buried beneath the stone,
Forgotten by the world I'd known.
But from the ashes, I did rise,
With vengeance burning in my eyes.

The world took everything from me,
But is this what I wished to be?

Can gold restore the years gone by?
Can justice answer every cry?
The heart that lived to see them fall,
May lose itself beyond it all.

I was buried, but not erased,
I crossed the darkness, I found my place.
Yet even vengeance has an end,
And mercy may still rise again.

Wait and hope, the dawn will come,
Beyond the night, beyond what's done.
