It's modern day.  The streets are rife with violence; corporations are corrupt; assassinations, commonplace.  Himura Kenshin, known only as Battousai, is a shadow assassin for an organization so secret even he doesn't know who truly runs it.  BUT Battousai has an even bigger secret; one that if it were ever discovered would mean more than his death...it would end in the total annihilation of his soul.  Battousai is not only the deadliest assassin to ever prowl the dark streets of night...he is also a vampire, one of the oldest still in existence…and a rarity among his kind.

 

He has a soul.

Tears of Eternity

by:  Chiruken

 

 

 

No Light To Bring Hope

 

 

Beneath cold white stars

Infinity stretched out

Happiness is far

Halted by weary doubt

 

Oppressed, shackled…torn

By chains of bloody guilt

The pain that is born

Behind walls sorrow built

 

Tears fall in the night

Silently mixed with rain

Hidden from all sight

Enduring lonely pain

 

 

No light to bring hope

Through the years of bloodshed

No light to bring hope

A reprieve from the dead

 

 

Huddled within a shell

Helpless to show his woe

His own private hell

Can’t fight against this foe

 

Alone and adrift

On a sea of despair

Soul split by a rift

Is it beyond repair?

 

Wounded, lost…alone

A dieing spirit’s plea

A need to atone

To finally be free

 

 

No light to bring hope

Through the years of bloodshed

No light to bring hope

A reprieve from the dead
