The Illrigger

[Verse] In shadows, he walks alone A knight for hell, that cursed throne His name is feared by friend and foe The Illrigger’s tale of woe [Verse 2] He hunts the ones who sold their souls Takes their powers, burns their spirits black as coal Spell books burn and rings are torn From the hands that once had sworn [Chorus] He will bring them down tonight End their pacts, strip their might Swords of devils turned to dust Into their pain, his fist is thrust [Verse 3] Wander’s path is never straight Bound by curse and heavy weight Order of Desolation’s call One by one, they start to fall [Verse 4] He finds the dealmakers weak Takes their strength, leaves them meek Artifacts of power drained Devil’s hold forever chained [Bridge] Though his darkest quest goes on In his heart, a muted song Redemption far beyond his reach Lessons only pain can teach [Verse 5] The moon, a pale witness to his plight Casts shadows on his armor, tarnished and tight Each step echoes through forsaken halls As he seeks solace in forgotten falls [Verse 6] His blade, etched with runes of sorrow Cuts through illusions of a false tomorrow The damned souls writhe, their torment unending Their eyes pleading for release, transcending [Chorus] He will bring them down tonight Their desperate cries lost in the moon’s cold light Their promises shattered, their bargains undone He wields justice like a blade, relentless and unspun [Verse 7] The Illrigger’s heart, a relic of remorse Bears scars deeper than any infernal force He dreams of redemption, a distant shore Yet the tides of damnation pull him more [Verse 8] In the sepulcher of lost hopes, he stands His past unraveling like shifting sands The weight of sins, a cloak he cannot shed His footsteps echo in chambers of dread [Bridge] Though redemption seems a distant star He clings to memories, both near and far The muted song within him, a requiem unsung Echoes through eternity, where shadows are flung Echoes through eternity, where shadows are flung
