Starless

And darkness waning slowly

A cold enigma

Would move me forward

O hapless life!

Now I pledge to you

All secrets revealed now

In paragraphs

Trust me

Over time, you will heal

Spit on or tend to my grave

A man saved from a damnation's winter

And the corpse of your father was entombed

He is my haunting phantasma and my plague

Conjured up persecution of my virtue

My internal collapse and spiritual leprosy

A Lord Juggernaut

Like the bearer of death

Waiting

Dеcrepit strategies sеt

Contaminating

Eating bits of my wretched throne

Forevermore

I found no traction in this haze

Defiled, I'd long for sleep

A tainted family

A tainted sanctuary

Could justify my reasoning

A grave mistake

I sunk in cold back light

He was of inferior class

A servant to me

Ha! The irony in this perverted odyssey

If our father's word is true, we are bastards too

It's a riddle?

No!

Or a caper?

No!

A mockery?

No!

A deception!

No!

And my sickly daughter looking on bewildered

A jewel in our hierarchy

My exalted successor

Rise!

In my life

I've asked of you

Take care of your kin, child

And her blood, runs in mine

Over time, you will kneel

Over time, you will kneel

Rid your throes from this coronation in reverence

Uprooted, you are

And in the summary coming

The proverbial sanctum of mine is up for debate

The execution of will

The crowning of an heiress

You are tethered to command

A requiem devised and signed by hand

You are tethered to command

A requiem devised and signed by hand
