#upstairs
The fire's burning higher, fulfilling all of my desires Men kneel before me, asking for my commands They stand before me now as soldiers, seizing the neighboring lands As I sit upon my throne, gazing upon the world Everything in my sight is mine All I had to do was leave my old life behind For the trade was simple: a soul for a soul Little did he know, I had already made a deal Earth is mine for a certain amount of time, like water in a bowl Upstairs they gave me a coin called the doulip Enchanted with enough power to perform a soul steal My purpose unknown but my life's work has just begun

Flames of Desire
It is when It climbs up a tree An ape's bald butts Nitpickers can see. Before having The talent on hand An upstart, one mustn't Forge forward!

An ape's bald butts
Can someone tell the folks upstairs That their floor is my ceiling. They stomp about, Scream and shout. In a fleet, They drag their feet. They tap dance in their hall, And cause my crockery to fall. While they boisterously shake, I'm forced to stay awake. They slam their doors, and I settle scores, By returning a 'thud', Which goes unheard. And finally when they clamber to bed, I thank my stars and think in my head, Those noisy wrecks, Are a pain in our necks, I would have loved them more, Had they lived on another floor.
