About Someone

Wrecker’s Hand

Your touch, a force unkind,
Bringing ruin, none can bind.
In every blow, in every tear,
Destruction's mark is everywhere.
Through your ways, worlds fall apart,
In your path, a shattered heart.

Your presence, a storm untamed,
Wrecking lives, none reclaimed.

Destruction's fires burn.
Through your actions, chaos reigns,
In your wake, only pains.

About Someone

Demolisher

Your ways, a wrecking force,
Breaking paths, changing course.
In every touch, in every strike,
Destruction's tale, alike.
Through your force, worlds collapse,
In your shadow, no relapse.

Turned my blue skies into grey hue.

About Someone

Through your chaos, I found my way,

To turn the night into day.
With every loss, a strength was grown,
Turning my fears into stone.
Through your ruin, I found my song,
A melody where I belong.
The ruin keeper, forever near,
Brought clarity through the tear.

About Someone

Destroyer’s Path

In the wreckage of your ways,
Lies a power that does amaze.
Each structure you break, each plan you thwart,
Shows a strength, a cold heart.
Your destruction, a haunting light,
Turns brightness into night.
With every ruin, every tear,
You make the end clear.
In your path, life does fade,
Shadows over light cascade.
Forever breaking, forever true,
In your wake, life renews.
