Serpent King Oct 2012
The sun; it is beginning to set,
Paving the fields bright gold,
As day turns to night,
The wind is becoming cold,
The sun is disappearing out of sight.

Through the night, a storm brews,
Rain crashes to the earth,
A thousand streaks falling to the ground,
One drop's death is another's birth,
The night is listening to the pattering sound.

But light appears over the horizon,
As the sun rises to claim its spot,
In the sky, the sun is placed,
The dew on the plants begins to rot,
The sun's light pierces, its beams forever laced.

Hidden in the darkness, an entity of no real significance,
Cloaked by despair, ruled by regret, acknowledged by few,
The shrouded one lives, misunderstood, banished, forgotten,
But it lives, it lives.

Concealed in the shadows, a being of no hope,
Masked by lies, commanded by sorrow, Befriended by none,
The shrouded one lives, misconstrued, expelled, obliterated,
But it lives, it lives.

Obscured in the black, a presence of no ecstasy,
Veiled by self-hate, ordered by fear, hated by all,
The shrouded one lives, misinterpreted, rejected, meaningless,
But it lives, it lives.

Here I am,
Held against my will,
Bound by the rope that is my mind,
My own intelligence constricting me,
Swiping aside creativity and imagination,
It’s alive, it’s strong, and it’s terrifying,
Soon, it will consume me, devour my soul,
And I’ll be just as machine-like as everyone else,
Our minds will take over our bodies,
Brace yourself, you’re next.
Serpent King Oct 2012
A choice is to be made,
A choice that will decide fate,
That choice rests within your hand,
Pick wisely, your choice is the difference,
The difference between success and failure.

Will you choose what is right?
The path that is certainly the hardest,
The path that may lead you to your demise,
The path that consists of morals and rectitude,
Choose: to benefit yourself or to benefit others.

Will you choose what is easy?
The path that is somewhat corrupt,
The path that may lead you to prosperity,
The path that consists of the wicked and decadent,
Choose: to benefit yourself or to benefit others.

So go on, don’t be shy,
Step up to the poll, the poll of fate,
And choose, do not choose flippantly,
Choose correctly and be rewarded,
Choose erroneously; no help will come.

The wind, the wind, oh the howling wind,
Retaining great beauty, inspiring much splendor,
Consuming the foul, producing the wonderful,
Awe exists on the wind, awe is the wind.

The wind, the wind, oh the howling wind,
Seeking to overtake, existing to dominate,
Feeding on destruction, stamping on hope,
Damage exists on the wind, damage is the wind.

The wind, the wind, oh the howling wind,
Living with the unknown, striving for the new,
Holding cryptic secrets, possessing enigmatic tales,
Mysteries exist on the wind, mysteries are the wind.
Serpent King Oct 2012
Waves crash on the pier,
Pure force, a violent bludgeon,
An entity of rage; never ceasing,
The earth in a hopeless war with the sea,
Sediment crumbling; drifting into the expanse,
It is over; it always was, the land in inevitable doom,
The sea has victory, basking in the ruins of ravaged land,
But there emanates a sliver of hope, of rebirth, of prosper,
Ample time has passed; the time has come for a new beginning,
A rumble, a blast, liquid earth explodes out,
Out of the cone, the cone created and of the land,
New earth is born, standing proud, a symbol of persistence,
But the once victorious sea, it is maddened, frustrated, upset,
It is preparing, formulating a new attack,
Thus, tis a cycle, a cycle of create and destroy.
Serpent King Oct 2012
Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Replicate me, my every move,
Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Duplicate me; however distorted.

Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Created by light, made of darkness,
Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Destroyed by the very same.

Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Ephemeral imprint upon the ground,
Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Intangible being of darkness.

Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Trailing me, forever bounded as one,
Oh shadow, shadow of the night,
Trying to speak, to pass on a message.
