4.01. The time has come

I gave man freedom, he forged it into chains. I gave man light, he turned it into fire. for a moment, it seemed he had learned: a ban on the sword, rule by law, not by men. The dream of peace. but now, the hand that forged this law rips up its pages, mocks the order toys with conquest, shakes the hand of evil. the innocent cry out, the earth is heavy with blood. once more, as in ages past, evil seems to get the upper hand. I cannot stand aside. the time has come.
