The Empty King

A throne that sinks in envy A crown that's forged in pain The creature poised with fury It tears its life away Unhinged, an aberration Believe its twisted tale Victim, vindictive anger All reason left to fail Its eyes are black with malice A chest that heaves with rage A cruel relentless hunger Carries its soul away Losing all sense of person Twisting, a formless shape Tendrils that sweep the darkness Now there is no escape The golden light that masks the bastard The fading might reveal its master Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer This tongue will poison everything Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer. In his disgrace, the empty king A broken promise, a hollow cry One step towards salvation One step towards a lie One more manipulation, The voice depletes your health Another accusation It makes you blame yourself The golden flame portents disaster The burning light is falling faster Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer This hate will swallow everything Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer. To reinstate the empty king Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer Your faceless god to purify Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer. To sell your future for a lie Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer Your hate will swallow everything Ruler. Maker. Liar. Betrayer. Your will to serve the empty king
