Deathwrought

All men seek fortune, life's greatest prize
But few men take action and capitalize
Waiting and waiting, they squander their lives
With nothing they'll live and with nothing they'll die

I cannot kill myself
My ashes must be ingested by those who crave my death

Breeding simple minds
I watched the peasants procreate
Generations passed as my disdain to hate
Everything I stole made up everything I owned;
Lifted of their virtues while I slowly took control

Raping their culture then claiming their land
Their anguish fueled me more: performing Death's dance

Those that feel are truly weak
Pitiful creatures unable to see
Their graves were chosen at birth
Beaten till broken and absent of worth

Accepting of their place beneath me

Broken glass and splintered wood
Woken from my sleep I hear their screams
They came through my doors and dragged me forth
With no remorse, with no discourse
They dragged me forth

Nothing- nothing is left...
Because I took it all
I- I took it all for myself

Dragged through their pathetic fucking town by a rope around my neck
Spitting their filth upon my face in contempt
The fires burn as they raise me higher
One stone is thrown for every misdeed that I have committed

I lost sight.
Every choice I made was matter over mind, then turn blind eyes
While they took my life,
they will always know inside: I took their pride

You're all worthless
You're all fucking worthless
