Long Road's End

Long Road's End is a poem found in the Diablo II manual. It is written by Chris Metzen.

It reads as follows:


 * What fires burn within my heart and force me to contend
 * With the perils that await me at this tragic journey's end?


 * I have walked the roads that lead to Hell, I have challenged all but Fate.
 * I have fought and bled and carried on just to reach this final gate.
 * And now the task before me looms, this dire deed undone;
 * I shall make my stand against the Three until the battle's won.


 * What fear or wound would ever still this last defiant cry,
 * As I stand against the Shadow 'neath the endless burning sky?

Trivia

 * The poem may be a continuation of The Initiate, but this is unclear&mdash;both parts of The Initiate are labelled as "Part I/II," but Long Road's End lacks any such designation.
