CRIES FROM BEYOND THE ICE (THE TOWERS OF ICE)

CRIES FROM BEYOND THE ICE (THE TOWERS OF ICE)

The cries are becoming louder now
He can hear them as clear as day
He has to find her in this place somehow
Or she'll become a part of the ice decay
He goes deeper and deeper into the tower
He makes his way up the endless winding stairs
He can feel the presence of the immense power
That made this tower and it raises his hairs
He sees the remains of those who have came
But never made it out alive
He understands that is fate could be the very same
But he pushes those thoughts aside
After what seems like an eternity, he reaches the top
And now he sees a long hallway, dark and empty
Fear grips him but he knows he can't stop
As he hears sounds that don't seem too friendly
He takes out his sword, ready for what may attack
As he makes his way to the sound of that voice
He can see nothing but pitch black
And hears a strange scraping noise
He sees something in the shadows in front of him
A beast that looks half man, half something else
It had sharp claws extending from its limbs
With is sword raised he looks down within himself
Shaking with fear, it seems the future looks grim 
As the beast advances and doesn't feel pain with every strike dealt 
He might end up like the others as scattered remains on the ground 
He's fighting back and nothing seems to take effect
The beast remains silent and only let's out a hissing sound 
Making him shake as he felt its icy breath 
He still hears her but all hope might be lost
He's getting tired and he doesn't know what to do
Maybe he should have thought this out and counted the cost 
Before he went on this mission, he should have thought it through
But now it's too late, he might die in these icy walls
As the beast jumps on him hard enough to make his ears ring 
But still, he could still hear the woman's pleading calls
As the claws dig into his skin, he heard the fairies sing......
