Reign

I, the first heir in line have spoken
Long will be my reign my will unbroken

The realm will grow in strength
There will be no dissent
The poor will eat and dress like a king

From the best I will build my army
Seasoned men will swear
The arms will bear

Guardians of time and tales
Their quills will tell

Stories
Of the one who failed his
Duties
Of the king who sought the
Glories
When a blind fool led his men on the path of death and
Misery
It is said he woke in
Agony
From the blow he learned
Humility
With wisdom new his reign would now last a century

The rival king is on his way
His army broad
He will not see another day
There will be no threat to my domain
Frontiers are safe
And my men will erase the stain

The day has dawned and before my eyes
The smoke is rising and the smell of corpses burnt is wild and strong
The cries
My world has shattered, haggard
I fight the tears before my fall

Take heed of a man's greed
False promise to a nation's need
In the storm when the wind is howling
Flee the vanity, be the fire burning

My life was spared
Their troops contained
Knee on the ground
Victory never felt so cold
For my lack of care
I pay the price
This day I swear
I will find the foresight, no vice

My crown is mine still
I will rebuild
From the debris I will erect a glorious citadel and hope
The sun
Will shine once more on my brow
Heal my soul
