Thrall

Thrall

The cup has arrived, take my blood.

Fill it up with the good stuff.

Drink the wine, while I unwind these chains.

I have been trapped too long in this self-made cage.

Tear at the bones with perfect teeth.

Ground to a point; been grinding for weeks,

To get the right blade to cut my food with.

This hole I exist in just leaves me livid.

I want to scream in the middle of day-dreams,

But people will see me and never know,

That the empire is crumbling; all around me is dust.

I have given up on this castle of rust.

The armour no longer protects my soul.

The happiness is gone and I am feeling old

And demoralized, the eternal night,

Beckons me to join it, but I am made of pure light.

The claws had dragged me under their spell,

But now the spell is broken, so let me leave this Hell

And find my own way, a better way;

All else only fades away.
