Metal Knows No Mercy

Big boots stomp echoing steel walls each step loud like war drums he came back not for peace but for answers and final closure rusty doors screeched like tortured voices as memories returned with each breath he knew pain like old friends it greeted him with cold hands blood once spilled in this place not forgotten yet nor forgiven truly eyes like blades cut through dust finding the truth buried in silence brother betrayed brother for nothing gained just hollow pride and broken dreams he remembered screams not from enemies but from within the steel heart his fists clenched not to fight but to feel what’s left behind walls still whispered what men buried shadows still moved like distant ghosts he lit fire not to burn but to cleanse what stayed cursed footsteps returned again not his alone others had come to finish stories some for revenge some for redemption some to bleed until silence wins he faced them no fear now just cold resolve and bitter breath steel met flesh but he stood like rusted iron strong from scars time slipped away with each clash but he stood until last breath they fell down one by one some cursed him some thanked him when sun rose he was gone but door remained still stained red those who come hear only echoes not his name but his silence they called it the place forgotten but metal knows and metal remembers because pain speaks when all die and justice sleeps beneath steel bones he left nothing but one line scratched in metal "no mercy given."
