For the final time, he gazed down at his empire
Carcasses laughing, emblazoned in fire
With the blue sky fading and pestilence crawled
Seas of blood, surged forth from those walls
The sepulchre lay waiting, where many would fold
The walls laid in sapphires, gilded with gold
With an eager demeanour he lay himself in
And took a last breath of a world laced in sin
With body succumbing to the rigours of time
The knell drawing nearer, off four walls death chimed
But cosmic intervention meant his soul burned fierce
Fuelled by the crimsons and saffrons of the phoenix within
Closing his eyes, the old ones grinned
With the knowledge that bloodline had heeded their call
And summoned the apocalypse to swallow the world
Carcasses laughing, emblazoned in fire
With the blue sky fading and pestilence crawled
Seas of blood, surged forth from those walls
The sepulchre lay waiting, where many would fold
The walls laid in sapphires, gilded with gold
With an eager demeanour he lay himself in
And took a last breath of a world laced in sin
With body succumbing to the rigours of time
The knell drawing nearer, off four walls death chimed
But cosmic intervention meant his soul burned fierce
Fuelled by the crimsons and saffrons of the phoenix within
Closing his eyes, the old ones grinned
With the knowledge that bloodline had heeded their call
And summoned the apocalypse to swallow the world
