(C) Choices Of Power

[silverfog]

I stand
In front of a choice
In front of a forking path
In front of two destinies
Which one?
Which is the right way
The path of justice?
The path of... light
Though light isn't always correct
Not always right
Those twisting paths
Taunting me
My heart or my head?
My destiny, or my choice?
Ambition, or loyalty?
Darkness, or light?
Resumed in such a simple path
Are two such complex choices
Such choices of right and wrong
Power is what I chose
Darkness, not light
Resumed in a look of horror
Will my sons do the same?

Many moons later
I discover their destinies
Intertwined with mine
Forevermore
Forever haunted by dreams of the past
I walk
Once more regretting
With one beside my side
And hate
Hate the other
Warrior of the light
Of his heart
Yet I wonder if all is not yet lost
I wonder
If I will have others to corrupt
Others to lead into ambition
And with one half of legacy done
I continue to try
To be once more
A leader
A leader of the dark side of your heart
Will you follow me?
Will you make that choice?
