To my fellow guardians:

Thank you for standing beside me

All we've been through

The thick and thin

Messy and clean

The losses and successes

All of it

You are truly great warriors

Worthy of success and fortune

Should such things have not come to you

Already


And to my fallen friends:

Thank you for your sacrifice

Know it was not in vain

The weight of what you gave

Was not left at the site of battle

But carried on the backs of those

Who had the honor of coming home

In your place

I can only hope you've found peace

Should you not

May my soul come find yours

And lead it to rest


And to those who stand against us:

You only make us stronger

Carrying your threats as weapons

But they're nothing more than empty words

Compared to the giants standing before you

Know that your time is limited

Counting down from the moment you see

That shining armor and smoking barrel

Weep and be free of your sins

As we release you to the fate you wrote

For yourselves
