Ashes From The Poets Mouth


lo, I shall dream for thee…A catastrophe- for the ages just simple words, so often heard, ...but empires have fallen for less than this lo, I shall preach to thee…of Tragedy -Prophesied for ages Just empty words, but they are heard …and you hang, on ev'ry lie! Oh most reverent, glorious overlord, Majesty, I am at thy feet truly omnipotent thou, I am thy humble servant I will write for you a story, timelessness, befitting your glory, your wish my command…you'll be remembered forever. Look upon my works, O ye Mighty and Despair!!! for I hath wrought thy doom. thy commission, your epic complete. The earth will quake when your kingdom fall, and the waves of your death will shake the world forever!…for the sake of a crown!! Lo, I shall slave for thee …Thine ecstasy, my hatred just careless words, so often heard …but your empire shall fall for this Lo, you beseecheth me …for immortality, so you spaketh Just a single word, but for it you'll burn …in death, your eternal life! Oh most reverent, glorious overlord, Majesty, at my feet truly omnipotent thou, I was thy humble servant I have written you a story, timeless, befitting your glory, your wish my command…you'll be remembered forever. Look upon thy Works, O ye Sinner and Despair!!! for you hath wrought thy doom. Thy commission, my revenge complete. The earth quakes as your kindom falls, and your life and your death have shaped the world forever!...buried 'neath your broken crown!! The words I speak, the lies I breath, the death I reap, for you my king The word I sing, the death I bring will forever ring, for you my king Laughing you drink the wine and eat the fruit of poisoned tree. Then comes the beautiful moment of horror in your eyes. Choking on ashes from the poet's mouth Lo, I dreamed for thee ...a catastrophe, for the ages Just simple words, so often heard- but your empire fell for less than this.
