Day Before

Day Before

A day before time began
Two beings walk the nothingness
Neither a woman nor man
No characteristic upon the beings that we know
Walk with me on this day before
And along the way I will show
The day and its forgotten lore.

The beings of which I speak
Possess familiar names
One with an eye to seek
Violence with a bloody reek
This one upon its figure bared a scar
Which drove it roaming and conquering afar
The being looked at the other
Preparing and ready to ravage
This one's name
Is Savage.

The other looked at Savage
With a brightly-colored eye
Tightly strapped in righteousness's tie
"I will not fight you," it said.
As it watched its counterpart ever-turning red
"No matter what you do, I will not cease."
This one's name
Is Peace.

Savage over Peace stood towering
With red evil eyes
Their terrible tears forever showering
"I will release my people," Savage claimed
"They will be neither good nor tamed.
"Here they come, as we speak, without grace.
"Here I present to you-
"The Human Race."

The figure defeated, on the newly green grass lying
Peace looked upon the world, crying
For the creatures that roamed the earth
Came with an evil birth.

The figure looked at the creatures
Savagely fighting
Baring their teeth and biting
And as the fate of the new world
Looked incredibly bland
We look down into the grass
Down into the created land
We watch as Peace and Righteousness
Raises its barely-living hand.
