I and the Dark Country reality of Earth's fate and the battle of the bright and somber powers. I stand upon Earth, path of danger in grief and help the unfortunate and save the doomed to the strong. I bring the guerdon of their strength. To the week, I bring the armor of my Force two. Men, who long? I carry their coveted Joy. I am Fortune justifying the great and wise by the sanction of the plaudits of the crowd, then trampling them with the armed heel of fate. My ear is leaned, to The Cry of the oppressed. I toppled down the Thrones of tyrant Kings. 'Cry comes from proscribed and hunted lives, appealing to me against a pitiless world.
