They stood just inside the walls of the fortress
|
And looked out upon an endless sea of ice
|
At first the only sound was of burning torches
|
But another sound was rising
|
That of thousands of souls groaning in bitter agony
|
Trapped just below the surface and awakened by the presence of fire
|
The sound of the souls crying out for rebirth continued to grow
|
It became deafening and caused all of the men there
|
To fall on their knees
|
They drove their torches into the ground and watched as the ice began to melt away
|
The enemy' s grasp was broken by the power of fire
|
And a great multitude of souls were reclaimed from the ice
|
But there were many others that did not respond
|
To the presence of fire
|
They remained frozen
|
Enslaved in darkness
|
Forever
