War at the Edge of the End

I have grown fond of my burdens
 They serve to remind me of all I have lost
 The freedom to die and live mortal
 Life's fated, and I offer my guard
 The spectre of Death rides unheeded
 A legion unnumbered and we are but four
 His army would claim every mortal
 But my steel was old when Death was young
 To long has he mocked as he's taken
 A seer, a pureblood and I, Ire's slave
 Have called down the ones who'll bring worse than
 Death could dream, and He'll face it at last
 The riders of hell had my blessing
 The vainglory of kings and the crimes of the poor
 Have spread like a plague beyond healing
 They are mine to watch, for them, a Lord!
 For my life I'll keep my failing light
 'til the dust has vanished
 I will offer my guard
 For my price I'll roam my wretched world
 'til the end of all time
 I will serve as thine guard
 The parting of clouds mark their arrival
 And the beating of hooves cannot shake my repose
 My gods have sent those behind Vleneng
 To bring fear to Death and place me in his throne
 The crowning is brief and well-hidden
 For a Guardian's Birth is not one they should see
 A procession of silent, grim, demons
 March back into their secret keep
 For my life I'll keep my failing light
 'til the dust has vanished
 I will offer my guard
 For my price I'll roam my wretched world
 'til the end of all time
 I will serve as thine guard
 Blind as they are, I am their Law
 Their fate is mine to save as I might
 Forsaking my guild, forgetting my past
 Leaving my home and crossing the wall
 Silently throned and becoming The All
 Unseen and unheard is the dawn of my rule
