Born into the ruins Of ancestral kingdoms You watched with Feinged flippant trepidation As the limbs From your stately family tree Withered Falling upon rotting roots To the harsh ground below Leaving you desolate and alone Cursed to live out your days Watching helplessly As your once great kingdom Fell into waste Your search for death Was greater than Your lust for life No will to preserve A name destined for extinction

Destined for extinction
Born into the ruins Of ancestral kingdoms You watched with Feinged flippant trepidation As the limbs From your stately family tree Withered Falling upon rotting roots To the harsh ground below Leaving you desolate and alone Cursed to live out your days Watching helplessly As your once great kingdom Fell into waste Your search for death Was greater than Your lust for life No will to preserve A name destined for extinction
