Disclaimer/claimer: No, I don't own anything from Harry Potter, but there
isn't any mention of characters' names in this, so I claim the writing as
all mine. Please do not steal.
A/N: This...poem, or whatever you want to call it, is spoken from the
viewpoint of one of Lord Voldemort's loyal followers. I tried to think of
how the people who actually admire him look at their position as a Death
Eater.

"Soldier of Darkness"

I am one of the dark ones,
The deathly cruel creatures of darkness;
Part of a spinning spiral
Of black gems...
All connected to the center,
And the darkest one of all.
He is the one,
The one I am faithful to...
To no other will I submit myself
For he is the very being of shadow
And nightmares.
My master,
My lord...
The one I am loyal to...
Devoted to
For evermore.
At he word I shall live...
At his word I shall die...
At his word I shall kill...
It matters not to me
As long as he is my master,
I will fight to keep him
All-powerful.
I swore my life away
I swore my allegiance
I swore my faithfulness
I swore my word...
And was marked as his.
This is my life,
And my death.
I was born to serve him...
And I shall die doing so.
Shall my blood be spilt over the earth,
And mix with the very rain...
Painting the skies crimson,
I am his.
Should my shadow fall to the ground,
And never move again,
I am his.
My word
And his word
That I shall never fail him
Is my only meaning in life...
So I shall not let him down
I, the soldier of darkness.
