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."
