Devilbiss

Slain is the firstborn,

Depraved by his greed.
You can beg for mercy,
But the crowds won't intervene.
Burning man, my brother,
I stand amongst the flames.
You can sell my freedom,
But you'll never take my name.
A crown for a king.


I tried to save you from yourself,
But unwilling minds tend to collide with tragedy.
The hunter is the hunted.
The hunter has become the damned.
I tried to save you from yourself,
To push aside your selfish pride and vanity. 

Slain is the traitor,

Basking in her deceit.

Call this a travesty.

My crew won't intervene.

Burning man, my brother, 

The wicked meet your keep.

Though you burn my body,

I'll rise not one, but three.

A crown for a queen.

Not stopping at the edge,
I'll cross the sea to find new land.
The fleet has fled, but I'll be home someday.
Dare test my will to take command.
I'll storm the keep and claim my throne someday.

I am free form tyranny,
Only to be grounded by my own inabilities,
But one day I'll fly above them all.
The seas will part, their kingdoms will fall.

I tried to save you from yourself,

But a ruthless bride tends to deny her enemies.

Not stopping at the edge,

I'll cross the sea to find new land.

The fleet has fled, but I'll be home someday.

Dare test my will to take command.

I'll storm the keep and claim my throne someday.
