Map me out
Follow my lines as you see fit
Take the roads you think you know
Float down my rivers
Smooth over my mountains
Kiss my valleys
Sneak up my hills
I am no fortress
I want you to invade me
I want you to control me
Force my people into slavery
Bite into my crops to feed your army
Don't be afraid to mark up my land
To leave trails in the dirt
Like scratches
Like claw marks
I promise to give everything
But only if you promise to take it from me.
I promise you won't meet resistance
And if you are like me,
Then we can switch these roles.
I will try my hardest
To rule over you,
With complete control.
But only if you beg first.
