I used to believe in Santa Clause when I was a kid. I never got but one toy every Christmas and it was a cheap toy. But it was something to believe in. And my friends, when I say something to believe in can be a powerful thing, trust me when I say that is true.
Ozzy sang it best when he would say
Why don't you take what you want from me?
Take what you need from me.
Take what you want and go.
Because if you believe in hero's you soon make them out to be your villains. I was allowed to believe in Santa Clause till I was 8 years old. Then I believed in nothing. Nothing at all, it was hard to even go to church then after my disgrace of a father died, things got even worse for us. I was 17 when my mother died, my sister took care of me till I was 18. I graduated high school, got a job got an apartment soon after got married and thought my life would be ok. I was wrong. My wife left me, left me to raise our son alone. And by that point I had trouble believing in god. But I found my way back to him. Because I realized we have to believe in something, the alternative is a life not worth having.
I never wanted to be anyone's hero. I hear the fans chant my name, cheer me on, but I ain't no superman, trust me I am not. I get tired running a mile, much less anything heroic. Yes I will climb a tree to get a girls cat off a tree. I will give a homeless guy a few bucks or a burger. I will give a ride to guy who ran out of gas. I will give away my old clothes to those who need it more, and there are many who need it. You would be surprised how a nice old coat or a clean pair of socks goes with a person in need.
But hero's are hard things to believe in. They are put on a pedestal and it it so hard for that person to live up to those expectations. No one should be put in that type of position.
Reaper has come a long way. He has earned his place in the world title match. But I seem to be taking him for granted. That would be a mistake. People underestimated me and I beat people who were stranger and faster than me. People who had better skills than me. Because I wouldn't stop, I wouldn't give up, I beat them, I beat most everyone cept for one or two. And I found my way back to the world. But hero I am not, hero I will never be. Heroes our the firefighters risking their lives on a daily basis.
Heroes are the soldiers putting their lives on the line for Americans and other countries who never appreciate them or thank them. Hero’s are the people who give up their organs and give blood every chance they get. Donate bone marrow or a kidney. Those are hero's. I am not.
Reaper has things to say he says them in his own way and he’s developing faster than most would care to admit. I will not underestimate him.
Then there is Louis Cypher. The shadow in the darkness, he will bite you if you are not wary. Louis as I get to peel back layers of you, I must admit you fascinate me a little bit. You make no excuses for your life or things you have done or the things you do. I would love to live my life with such disregard and such freedom. But I have too many responsibilities. You are honest about yourself and if nothing else I can respect that. But you do not deserve to lead SFT right now. You deserve a lot of things but not this. You live by a code that god always favors the bad. And for you that has been that case but sooner or later you will have to answer to god for the things you’ve done. Like it or not, we all will be judged and when you stand before him and he asks you why? What will be your answer? Will you say because I wanted to, or say because I didn't care. You are so entrenched about learning about demons and hell, I would say, do not be in such a rush, you’ll be down there, and there wont any escaping. Trust in that.
