I can recite this from memory so here it is. Although this not at all public domain but I thoroughly enjoyed this one monologue from the game. Still haven't been able to finish it because it hits a bit too close to home....

Monologue:

In this waking nightmare...Where all dreams come true. You searched for control, a way to pull through.

When you were in love you left him in tears, to smother your furies and banish your fears. But in darkness they came, through stormy black seas they raided these shores.

Do you still hear his screams? Now that your home... he’s so far away, they’ve taken his soul. To these Gods you cannot pray.

They can break you not your promise, even his death won’t keep you apart. Through this darkness you will find him in your sword still beats a heart.

You fought for love and spoilt by your darkness within, you fought for your dream...now there is no way to win...

In the head of his corpse lies the seat to his soul. So you must carry his vessel to bring him back home.
