The wind caresses my face
as I gaze into the unknown
Screams echo in my ears
Calling for me
Because of the lives I took from them
Me, myself
A villain in my own right
Doer of nameless crimes
One who deserves no mercy
My eyes reach the bottom of the pit
I see Red
Red: the color of innocents' blood
shed by me, and by my kin
Red: the color of my flaming hair
and the dangerous temper it cloaks
Red: the color of the fate that awaits me
amongst the pain and despair, all that is left
It would be so easy
To greet this Red
I deserve it
Just one step
One step, and I am falling
The gem that was my downfall clasped to my chest
The gem that had witnessed my bloody sins
will now see my end
While one last scream rips the fabric of my soul
The scream of my last brother
left behind to watch me fall
But I can do nothing now
but die
For I am Maedhros Fëanorion
and I accept my doom
