Blackwood

Heir to nocturnal visions
 The Sun and its first rays
 Led Seth to his new mission
 With mystic aura graced
 Prophetic words of the voice
 Have proven to be true
 The carriage with two horses
 Was equipped for a long route
 Seth craved to begin his journey
 In no time he climbed onboard
 His own life did not concern him
 As much as Irene's, whom he has adored
 They passed through the gates
 To the outskirts of town
 Where life was at stake
 In the shade of the crown
 The further they rode the thicker the woods
 Abandoned constructions amid the trees stood
 Like shrapnel the rain pierced through the dense fog
 Despite the fatigue Seth was wide-awake
 As long hours passed the coachman was asked
 By Seth about their destination at last
 Rather abrupt was companion's reply
 "Blackwood", he mumbled and shuttered the blind
 This word sent shivers down our hero's spine
 About this site he heard since he was a child
 Peasants believed this place to be cursed
 Ridden with plague in death it immersed
 It seemed like this ride wouldn't come to an end
 Poignant thoughts he could no more contend
 On the way out of October's bleak woods
 They reached the hill where the village stood
 Seth stepped outside
 Glorious light
 Broke through the clouds
 Blinding his sight
 Our hero moved
 Towards Blackwood
 That stately stood
 Under the sky
 To the village Seth ascended
 Solemn mansion caught his eye
 Barely has he even entered
 To stop him the guards have tried
 Deftly Seth pulled out his famed sword
 Ready for a ruthless fight
 Suddenly the quarrel was stopped
 By an order outright
 Hooded person has descended
 Without doubt he was in charge
 In a moment he defended
 Guards from a defeat foretold
 He approached our hero swiftly
 As if Seth was known to him
 "About you I had a vision
 I'll help you to save your kin"
