Everburning Flame
The flame of life shoots inside you, but no matter what, that flame shall burn. You let your freedom hang high over the raging fire of truth. The fight for that which is life. To save humanity from suffering. Yet all you can do is watch them fade and die. As their souls float to the pureness above. The ruthless beasts once known as men are now "machines", killing machines. They take all life as a trophy, a symbol of their triumph. How can this be a triumphant matter?! Releasing souls forever to the sea of stars for your own inferior pleasures! These trophy collectors deserve not even their own soul. Their humanity is lost forever in the world of agony, suffering, and death. That humanity, that soul from others, that flame of life, is what these monsters now feed on. This capsule of the raging flame of life, is swallowed forever in the dark vastness of space...
