Darksiders

Muscle wrought like cable
A will strained by deceit
The hero they will fable
His purpose is to defeat
The good, evil and human.
The balanced toppled
Humanities end looming
The mystery of the culprit.
Good and evil seek War
War upon his mighty steed
Rides to clear his name
To take revenge, be freed.
Allies in the fallen and lame
The path through unclear
Four chosen by their master
Once dreaded, they now fear
War wielding the chaoseater
Their hearts hold the power
When they are combined
The key to unlock the tower
War tests his metal and mind
The servant is demolished
The chained now set free
Another soul vanquished
The final task, to obtain
A final, ultimate scourge
Shards of Armageddon
Interwoven at the Forge
Hell awaits, learnéd fate
Abaddon once mighty ward
Broods beyond the final gate
In the darkness, he rules all
A beastly visage, potent force.
War takes Ruin's girdle in hand
Cleaving away to the core
Abaddon, makes his last stand.
War's work done, final betrayal
The Charred Council's shame
War has succeeded to fail
And will bound him in chain
Unlikely friends come to help
War released, the seal broke
War no longer by himself
As the horsemen approach
