There's a place at the half of the world,
in the middle of heaven and hell,
it has many names,
a land full of despair.
A gray sky and a fallen kingdom
is what you find when you set a foot inside,
you won't see a cozy place
only a cold emptyness.
There lives the otherselves,
creatures living of human emotions,
a fate they can not reverse,
their purpose is destruction.
Destruction of the tainted souls,
the ones that couldn't find a way out,
walking without direction
their lives like a merry-go-round.
The otherselves are there to help them,
they are the ones that will never be able to go to hell or heaven,
their job is sadly endless,
they have no emotions and they are driven
by their owner's hatred.
The first other self is a mystery,
nobody knows where it came from,
but it was there when the first misery
ocurred on the torn world.
It wears dark clothes
resembling the abyss of its heart,
carrying a sword to slay the souls,
a sword that can't wait to start.
Its eyes red like blood,
tall and with black hair,
for its pale face a hood,
sharp claws to wear like gloves
and metal boots to kick strong walls.
It was once a person,
who know who it was before being that...
now is an assassin of god and the devil,
a messenger but not someone evil.
Its eyes hold a story,
not even i can tell,
eyes of a sinner and holy
at the same time, but it has fell
from heaven and went out of hell,
a silent warrior that will protect
the ones that are clean from fear and hate.
It will be there
when the end comes,
so it will do something
to protect this world.
It will watch you from above
when you have fallen down,
when you can not longer rise up
a clawded hand will help you up.
Don't be scared,
of this creature don't be afraid,
it will help you fight this battle,
walk with it my soldier
and gain a whole new title.
The eye of a sinner,
is what fear will see,
stand against this leech
to see what tomorrow brings.
