Strengthening

I have tasted Lolth’s cruel caresses
I have endured pain that few can e’er imagine
so if you come to me with hard deeds or accusations
endure what I have done and then we’ll speak again.

for you have not looked in Hatred’s glittring eyes,
and you do not know that Fear is Hatred’s soul
Fear that gives birth to cruelty,
cruelty that gives birth to pain.

On Fire’s song I swear,
upon her purifying heat,
I swear I will grow stronger,
and I will not succumb to cruelty.
I will succumb to love.
