I watched the rain wash away the filth and my mind rolled away the days spent wasting like some carcass on the road. I will begin anew! said our hero. I will begin anew! The deafening onslaught of hopelessness will rear its head no more to me! I am hope. I am light and life…  no more will hell have its fury on me. The heavens shall open this guise. The masks I feel I have worn are torched and the beauty of the soul once more can breathe!
