A Reunion of Old Friends
I find it fitting that we finally reacquaint here at Armageddon, a site of sacred pain.

But here conflict and death are only tombs from which new life will soon birth
________________________________________________________________
Our story was one strewn with all four, yet our loyalty etched its jagged mark into the world
___________________________________________________________________________
But I also remember your bewildering deceit…. when did you go wrong my friend?
___________________________________________________________________
I committed to you, but would suffer alone – feeding off of the scraps we shared
__________________________________________________________________
But you never cared for my loyalty
_____________________________
For you I burned my mind and soul. Your promises, or demands rather, drove me – But your reward?

And I have waited patiently for this glorious reunion, for at last the slave becomes headsman
_____________________________________________________________________________
The yoke we shared now becomes your guillotine

Die now old friend; for if we are to live I must leave your body here at Megiddo. To Hell with you my beloved Lazarus
