Chains of Eternity

By [ Yui ]

Born to live a life upright
I never thought my life would be like this
That I will travel through an unknown realm
Shrouded by cowering mist

I came upon here by accident
With my ship steering its own wheel
Always saying this was all just a dream
But then realizing it’s all real

I tried to gauge my thoughts
I’m not used to such peculiarity
So I met this man, Feng was his name
Happy he’s there to save my sanity

Undeniable spiritual wisdom
He had never left my side
He had been my mind’s solace
Whenever controls subside

I always needed to feel at ease
To grasp a certain sense of control
And through this man I felt the comfort
That is a necessity to my soul

Then we met these unusual serpentine beings
As we travel through a different path
In the name “Yuan-ti” as they are called
Raised their weapons of wrath

They took hold of my friend in their wicked hands
Transforming his being to a monster
And now as I marvel my serpent friend
I now see my deceased comforter

At the brim of not knowing what to do
I tried my best to think of a way
A way to unlock the chains of torment
But to find nothing in my dismay

And alas I have come to a decision
To end his fragile life
That maybe in that way I could free him
From this realm of pain and strife

But his soul continued to moan through eternity
His cries hunted the night
For in this realm is an eternal chain
A soul remains bounded without light

And as we travel through the depths of this realm
My eyes are now wide awake
For even in death, we will never be freed
Useless hopes in every step that we take

Lots of troubles we came to pass
Bathe by tears of sadness and hate
But still I know somewhere in this land
There resides a hidden gate

In a promise to never give up
Even though how troubled I may be
For I know in the end, we’ll find a way
In this land of woe, we will finally be free
