red rubies and studded emerald calvary charms...
they adorn my chalice of Château d'Yquem

i succumb to the music
of nothing around
the melody once heard divulged underground

i'll take up my post,
commit to the king
i'll see all that was once calvary's beings
through sixteen moons everything's peace-renowned,
till death drifts about,
blood drips from their gowns

i made a promise,
a promise i'd keep
a pinnacle dagger, obsidian knife,
out of the dark on a late summer night
taking the life of my childhood spite.
