Artmancer's Epics: "Berserk"

"Morning bells once rang A boy walks home with textbooks Sky felt ordinary

Then sirens spit red Adults speak in broken codes Childhood fractures fast

A cockpit closes Metal womb and trembling hands Fear learns his heartbeat

Angels blot the sun Names too old for human mouths Gods fall screaming down

Orders press his spine Run or fight—no third door left Choice is an illusion

Misato shouts hope Smiles taped over older scars Command tastes like trust

Rei stands like still snow Eyes reflecting borrowed skies Silence weighs a ton

Asuka burns loud Dares the void to look away Pride hides shaking knees

Blood paints violet steel Unit-One howls past control Teeth break through restraint

The city buckles Concrete prays and then collapses Red rain stains the streets

Shinji’s scream blooms light A hologram of pure terror Mind splits from the body

Limits tear apart Mother-rage, hunger, and wrath Override the boy

He pulls the world close Claws carve answers from the dark Mercy loses grip

Victory feels wrong Unknown gods laugh in the smoke Nothing ends—only bends

Blood dries, echoes stay A child gone where pilots fear Chaos learns his name"
