Tyrant
September 8, 2014
Poison dribbles from your lips
Infecting mind and soul
You lounge upon your gilded throne
While I slave beneath your load
Seductively you purr
"No one can help you now"
"No one will understand
While I bend beneath your weight
Your toxic words haunt my sleep
Twisting dreams to nightmares
No peace from your corruption
While I strain beneath your task
Your laughter fills my mind
As my future hopes and dreams
Are razed to ash by your words
And I break beneath your load
You lounge upon your glided throne
With vic'try in your eyes
While I prostrate at your feet
For how can I, myself defeat?
