The Balance

Written by: Dark Missionary Amaroth Ve'Kelos
Date: Friday, June 13th, 2003
Addressed to: Everyone


I stand alone, with two paths leading.

One leads to Light, the other to Darkness.
One leads to Peace, the other to Power.
What choice do I make? Left or Right?
Both are tempting me with all their might.

The Light offers life, with which to serve
The Darkness offers power, with which to rule.
What choice to I make? Left or Right?
Both are calling me with all their might.

I feel myself drawn to both sides.

I realize something, that makes it all clear.
Even if I make a choice, my life is my own.
One can serve with Darkness, and kill with Light.
There is only one path for me which is right.

I choose the center, a Balance of both.
A path that I will create, to see the truth.
That Light and Darkness are nothing without the other.
And are everything when together.

For without Darkness, how can one see the Light?
And without Light, how can one classify the Darkness?


Penned by my hand on the 23rd of Vita, in the year 407 AD.
