Scenes of Fate

Grandiose scenery
Tales of woe are normality
Hearts are stolen; common thievery
Daily tidings of such gravity

Bring decency far aloft

Swords and stones
Words sweetly whispered
Friends and foes
Have always aspired

To rend unity apart

For their own purpose

Life's lust, greed's desire
Sprout in hearts hidden lair
Fruition comes when birth brings forth
The intimate things of priceless worth

And we see what was hidden

And bear witness to the darkness

That will bring forth the same

Sex
Love
Lust
Greed

Trust
Truth
Forever
A seed

Is small
Cannot fall
And must be searched
To be seen

Vile intentions
Cruel contentions
Hide that small grain
And it almost seems in vain

That some seek for that which
Might never be found

Brother betrays brother
And the servant, his master
For a morsel of bread
For the calm of the dead

Is intoxicating

Nothing compares
To the one who dares
To win
No matter the sin

The cost
All might be lost

But pride and greed take all

The triumphant revel
The defeated sever
Ties with honor
Oaths of the father

For another day of life
They might take up the knife
For revenge
Or vengeance

But calm rules
In hearts of fools
As they wait
For their day of Fate

Tomorrow

Full of sorrow

A life borrowed

Intensely hollow

For the fulfillment of their hate

The sun shines; the moon wanes
A mouth is full of wine; a man's bane
Days pass
Like grass
And whither
Until forever and a day
The sun may fail to shine
Darkness will reign
Wise will become insane

This will be mankind's fate

Above and below
Spirits rise
Death grows
Courage demise

With the secrets they hold

Depth of heart
Deep underground
Awakening starts
Passion is found

Fire and flame
Death and decay
Fate and fortune
Breath and dismay

Those who behold the death
Fear forever
They will eternally be seared
Their minds severed

From rational thought
From common sense
Their wisdom is caught
In the wisp of the wind

Far away

Far away

Far away

And what more
Can be said?
Death has its lore
And night its dread

Some come
Some go
To life's drum
All will be shown

To be false
A tale
All else
In the end will fail

The east bears the sun
The west bears its decent
The north wields a wind
The south wields a heat

And the fires will spread

Until death covers all

Life ends

Courage dies

Tales are forgotten

Dynasties fallen

Will rise no more

And dust will cover the bones

As terror has had its laugh

And the wind whispers no more
