Code of the Conqueror by Mark Weeks

Journey of a Conqueror ~ Poem

Never return, never return.
Never return to the haunts of your youth.
Keep to the path, remain stern,
Even memory distorts the truth.


Never return, never return,
Never succumb to their tireless glare.
Keep to the track, always learn,
They will never meet you there.


Never return, never return,
Claim your destiny.
Cross the bridges, let them burn,
Now let your faith see.


Never return, never return,
Never become your glorious past.
Keep to your path, never adjourn,
Treat every day as your last.

Never return, never return,
Now tame your heart’s desires.
Lest they burn,
Extinguish the damned fires.

Never return.
Never fall into the lion’s lair.
Keep firm, remain stern,
Your life beckons, if you dare.
