with every day comes grief
with every hour breeds lament
with every moment passes an eternity
yet eternity is damnation

this sword
who knows no sorrow
shall bear no guilt
nor misery
nor deceit
this sword shall know not mercy

come with me, mon amie
for this sword shall cleanse thy blood

welcome to a new year.
to new experiences.
to new hopes.
to new dreams.

welcome to new faces.
to new voices.
to new acquiantances.
to new personalities.

welcome to life.
and to death.

bring it on.
