...snow sliced through the screen.
Before a video slowly came into view.
As the video came to a close, a single still image was left emblazoned in the eyes of those watching --
As the image rested upon the screen for a handful of seconds, music slowly began to seep through the speakers --
In the beginning
Good always overpowered the evils
Of all man's sins...
But in time,
The nations grew weak
And our cities fell to slums
While evil stood strong.
In the dusts of HELL
Lurked the blackest of hates
For he who you fear awaits you...
Now? Many, MANY lifetimes later
Lay destroyed, beaten, beaten down,
Only the corpses of Rebels
Ashes of dreams
And blood stained streets.
It has been written that
"Those who have the youth
Have the future"
So come now, children of the beast
Be strong.
And Shout at the Devil.
. . .
"So it was written.
So it shall come to pass."
The camera slowly emerged upon a scene... a dark, dingy alley-way. Somewhere in a city corrupted by greed, money, power, and jealousy.
He stood there, resting beside a dumpster, legs crossed, as he gazed at the brick wall before him. Shadow encompassed his appearance.
But his voice could be heard, clear as crystal.
"They doubt us. And by 'they', I mean the straight-laced. The suit-and-tie wearing 'normals'. Those that look down upon us...
"...and by 'us'?"
The man chuckled lightly to himself, before gazing up at the night sky above...
"...I mean those that don't quite 'fit in'. In a world of bodybuilders, Hollywood-wannabes, supermodels and carbon copied plastic mannequins?"
He then looked toward the camera. Eyes veiled in darkness. But a gleaming light could almost be seen.
"...We are the exception to the rule."
The figure paused for a moment, before turning his sight back towards the brick wall.
"Doubt us. Go on. Doubt us, overlook us, look DOWN on us. Spit on us, kick us aside, USE US.
"TRY...and hold us down."
He then slowly began to stand to his feet. As he did, he spoke.
"For we...will...rise.
Beat us down?
And we. WILL. Rise.
Knock us to the GROUND?
Leave us for DEAD?"
He stood tall. Before turning his eye to the camera.
"And we.
Will.
Rise.
"Believe.
Or BeLeft BeHind."
