'Hala'
You do as you like.
Kill for the highest bidder.
What if bidder becomes an entire nation?
Light and dark. Good or bad.
To you it's just two sides of the same coin.
Call yourself saint, call yourself sinner; You're both killers in the end.
Recordationes Mortale
I) The ESK
A prized possession.
You crashed through the hull of his ship to pull him from the brink.
So close, yet so far.
They took you both, but you came back mostly in-tact.
Mostly.
They call it blood, sweat and loyalty.
You called it a Thursday night special.
II) The Tags
Some keep them as a trophy piece.
A bargaining chip.
A means to start a story.
Yours only say the damn thing's name.
III) The Badge
A symbol of authority.
A license to kill.
Hated by most.
A means to an end, for you.
Now they're gone, and they've not tried to take it back.
IV) The Choice
Against all odds you chose the boy.
You'll have to dig your own grave.
No one will do it for you.
Or, maybe there is one.
Good thing he isn't the one you want alive.
V) The First Esoterica
"How can a man die better, than facing fearful odds?
For the ashes of his fathers. And the temples of his God."
Oh, now. Bring me joy.
Lead me with your armies.
You take our children, with your bloodstained hands.
One night when she goes blind, find her in her sleep.
Wake her from her dreams, she gave you plenty of warning.
We encourage you to rethink your preconceived notions.
Question authority and create other means for survival.
-------------------
A broken man once fought to protect and provide.
Now he kills to see them again.
You've naught known that feeling, nor may you ever.
May you never go to Hell, but always be on your way.
VI) The UEDA
You close your eyes a better man.
Or imagine that you can imagine such a thing.
And it goes on and on and on and on like that.
Project yourself into the air, and float in a weightless night.
It’s better than sitting heavy backed, and sending waves of anxious hate into the street, trying to shut down the stop lights.
It isn't real, but it feels real.
As you crane your neck to an emptiness better than knowing nothing at all.
You feel in your chest. You know you know yourself.
Cut your wrists, slit your throat, take this body and string it up.
Cause you'll never know.
-------------------
All those nasty little things you hear in the back of your mind are true.
I am the voice that whispers them.
Let all your pitiful anxieties and insecurities become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The mind affects the body.
The body affects the mind.
Cause enough dissonance between the two and expertise crumbles into ineptitude.
All that's left is to watch you fail.
VII) The Consequence
The Choice led you here.
A nightclub and a string of a dozen murders.
Don't tell me you're coming to actually care for the boy?
You helped him speak again. He probably won't forget it.
You on the other hand. What do they have in store for you?
All you do with him is kill, isn't it sick how much you enjoy his company?
You wouldn't have it any other way.
VIII) The Blasphemy
"On that day I will punish everyone who leaps over the threshold,
and those who fill their master's house with violence."
-------------------
Have you got time for a sinner?
Have you got time for a sinner?
IX) The Second Esoterica
Don't be afraid
Don't wait
Don't ask
But take care
With those who
Pull you
And follow me
All the way to the top
And I'm sorry
for those who
betrayed you
But we're taught
day after day
to kill
X) Oj Dido, oj Łano
A quick revolver flourish.
Draw, spin, and watch two of them drop.
The new crew worried him.
How long will you and yours stay the biggest fish on the block?
Big fish are targets. Sink or swim. Shark or herring.
XI) The Badge Cont.
It's more now than ever.
More than a license to kill.
More than a permit to steal.
For as long as you can remember.
You've done as you liked.
This isn't new.
What it will give you is the trip.
The ego rush and the adrenaline dump.
You'll feel alive for as long as they do; and then you'll do it all again.
You're coming for them, and they know who they are.
