My own experience is that once a story has been written, one has to cross out the beginning and the end. It is there that we authors do most of our lying.<br /> - Anton Chekhov

Don't tear up
don't grow in misery
because the battle against the dark knight
is not over
with your sword and shield
protect the innocent
and save the old
for in the future
we will meet again
where the light meets the darkness
to vanquish the dark knight
and pass on the shield
where one person dies
another may live
the circle of life
