Written by Fall of Mankind Lyrics by Adrienne Cowan ------------------------------------------ PORTENT IN THE DARK THIS IS THE CHAMPION, FORCED TO LEARN TO FIGHT, MASTER THE ANGER, TRUST THE BODY, CALM THE MIND. THIS IS THE TEMPLE OF WORSHIP AND RESENTMENT ENTWINED, WEATHERING YEARS OF STORIES TOLD IN CONVOLUTED LINES. COULD YOU FORGIVE, AND NOT FORGET? I! I WILL BECOME THE LIGHT I ALWAYS SOUGHT I! I AM THE BANNER WAVING VICTORY O’ER BATTLES FOUGHT I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK, MORE THAN THE SCARS UPON MY HEART I LAY THE PATH FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK MORE THAN THE SCARS UPON MY HEART I LAY THE PATH FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW THIS IS THE POET’S METHODS TO SURVIVE: SAFETY BEHIND BARS, WHERE AGONIES BEGET RHYMES. THIS IS THE BED WHERE LOVE AND LONELINESS LIE, WHERE WE DETERMINE LESSONS FROM THE REST OF OUR LIVES. WOULD YOU RELIVE, OR GIVE YOUR BEST? I! I WILL BECOME THE LIGHT I ALWAYS SOUGHT I! I AM THE BANNER WAVING VICTORY O’ER BATTLES FOUGHT I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK, MORE THAN THE SCARS UPON MY HEART I LAY THE PATH FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK I! I WILL BECOME THE LIGHT I ALWAYS SOUGHT I! I AM THE BANNER WAVING VICTORY O’ER BATTLES FOUGHT I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK, MORE THAN THE SCARS UPON MY HEART I LAY THE PATH FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK I AM THE PORTENT IN THE DARK
