Poison
I'm the poison here in the chalice
Of the king unrepentant
Anticipating, the mistress awaits
The king to meet his fate
Playing the part, the mistress can't take
Another day he's not laid to waste
Counting the days since he killed her family
Extracted, this my new purpose
Tipping the scales
Taken, dripping from the teeth of the snake
Mixed in his drink, the mistress silent
And the king so arrogant
Lifts the chalice, imbibes unaware
The very agent of his death
His blood curdling and left wondering
Is his hubris the reason that he lies
Here paralyzed no spark in his eyes
Vindicated are those his reign has left to die
Re-purposed is the crown upon his head
Worth enough in gold just to keep the kingdom fed
Excess just another of his many sins
And with all that said the king is fucking dead
Your fate is sealed, you reap what you sow
All those you've broken, in them you've awoken
Enough of your sanctimonious bullshit
As you lay
Contemplate
Disintegrate
Fade away
Vindicate
You can't escape that which you made
That's why you lie
And now you die no spark in your eyes
Your insides fry
Immobilize
Your misery, no need for sorcery
Just a dose of me
Is all you'll need
No one to grieve thee
Drowning in fear now you see
The cost of your fleeting genocides and deceiving
I'm the poison and this is your end
Purpose virtuous, you're left impotent
Your fucked prevalence
Take one spare million
Unworthy of humanity
I'm the poison taking your essence
Your carcass now, vulture feed
Of the king unrepentant
Anticipating, the mistress awaits
The king to meet his fate
Playing the part, the mistress can't take
Another day he's not laid to waste
Counting the days since he killed her family
Extracted, this my new purpose
Tipping the scales
Taken, dripping from the teeth of the snake
Mixed in his drink, the mistress silent
And the king so arrogant
Lifts the chalice, imbibes unaware
The very agent of his death
His blood curdling and left wondering
Is his hubris the reason that he lies
Here paralyzed no spark in his eyes
Vindicated are those his reign has left to die
Re-purposed is the crown upon his head
Worth enough in gold just to keep the kingdom fed
Excess just another of his many sins
And with all that said the king is fucking dead
Your fate is sealed, you reap what you sow
All those you've broken, in them you've awoken
Enough of your sanctimonious bullshit
As you lay
Contemplate
Disintegrate
Fade away
Vindicate
You can't escape that which you made
That's why you lie
And now you die no spark in your eyes
Your insides fry
Immobilize
Your misery, no need for sorcery
Just a dose of me
Is all you'll need
No one to grieve thee
Drowning in fear now you see
The cost of your fleeting genocides and deceiving
I'm the poison and this is your end
Purpose virtuous, you're left impotent
Your fucked prevalence
Take one spare million
Unworthy of humanity
I'm the poison taking your essence
Your carcass now, vulture feed
