Life
They pray for peace, I pray for war
They are indifferent and lifeless
I love and I hate
For love and hate are passions of life
And I am full of life
Better to be full of passion and life, than to be empty and lifeless
I seek the glory of battle
I seek the wild passion of true love
To feel the heat of battle, to unleash the strength and brutality of my fury, to watch my enemies die at my hands
To fall in my lover’s embrace, to feel her love and loyalty, to merge my soul with hers in perfect beauty
That is a life well lived
For I would rather die fighting in the ferocity of battle, or in the passionate embrace of my lover who will always hold on to me
To die knowing I have truly lived at the glorious heights of life
Than to die on the inside: soulless, passionless, and lifeless
Life is beautiful
