In The Chamber Of Fate

In The Chamber Of Fate

03/04/2012

This is a darker poem...

on supposedly doomsday lol. 

I snuck right into your chamber,

Crept around until I found where you were hiding.

There was a couple torches lit,

As, you were writing in your journal.

I stepped behind a barrel

Where you couldn’t see me,

As you studied away (studied away)

On government, on kingdoms, on wars…

I listen as you chuckle to yourself,

And wonder how such a great researcher

Could make such a woeful ruler.

Pre-Chorus:

I had a cross-bow in my hands,

I didn’t know if I’d have guts to use it.

I think about all the anguish this could cause,

But, I just have become so obsessed with power,

That I felt like this was the only option left

To gain the throne,

And put this country on the right track.

Chorus:

My hands shake as I pull the trigger,

I’m filled with such regret,

Even before the arrow pierces your skin.

I watch as the blood flies everywhere,

And you slowly grab at your neck,

And you drop to the ground.

I rush over to you,

With tears swelling in my eyes.

I cry at first over the fact I’m a murderer,

But, eventually, I laugh,

I laugh hysterically, cause I’m overwhelmed,

By the reality of what I’ve done,

As well as the excitement

 over securing the throne.

Pre-Chorus

Chorus

I pick up your body,

Clean up the blood,

Take the arrow out,

And set the scene up,

To make it look like it

Was someone else.

I leave the chamber of fate,

To alert the country, and my family,

That the emperor of 11 years is gone,

And there will be a new man to lead

This nation now.
