Thrones Lament

The lilies adorning the streets,

fade as the stars fall like rain.

The faces of children glowing

like gold dust in the dark.

The cellars and cages hold the hope

but amaranth pools line the streets

The children play on the

swings and slides painting their

tears on the next living kings

Lily in hand he returns to the kings,

men showered in vermilion and gold
