The darkness found one who opposed him,
He found him quite of a rut,
The darkness tried to enlist him,
The one said I do not,
After this the darkness,
Filled with endless rage,
Took the fool’s soul,
For refusing is the sin,
But many rose against him,
The darkness chose to route,
For he couldn’t see how he got out-manned,
This is a mighty sin,
So he cowered at his knees,
And went back to his home,
Planning to return to reclaim his throne,
As he routed back home,

Nicholas Spandrel
