i am just a tired fool
working tilling laid to rest
digging deep countless graves
to rid the world aware

i desired once to rule
now i am a pawn at best
a massing of a million slaves
into the void they stare

you adrift the air so cool
branded with a crest
countless lives emotion saves
into the tide they dare

i am just a fading name
up a voice so sweet
cast aside buried down
beneath a fog so thick

i was once lost untame
humbled by this feet
braving waters off to drown
facing fates cruel trick

you tend and kindle smothered flame
however did we meet
to shed the shackles mesh and crown
like an evening dream faint and quick
