dead upon dead to the left and the right no fire to warm us no more spark no more light the even' has come the desert dry night the only thing living is the burgeoning kite
the only ruler is a king with no crown the lowly court jester wears a red mask'd frown some courtiers have starv'd some courtiers have drowned but as for the people there's no one around
pile upon pile of mouldering bones some make up spires some make up thrones femurs the mortar skulls are the stones some lattice triangles some steepled in cones if you're in this city you're truly alone
a skeleton rides on a decaying horse it has no conscience it has no remorse it needs no permission but uses no force where is this city?
