Die By the Sword

I am King over this spacious realm one dares to steal the throne I own with armies bought he comes to overwhelm to leave my body rot with quartered bone I'll stand to face death in this time of war fiercely fight, die even with a shattered sword conquering thief now comes that I abhor he swore a death oath, as his hate comes toward I'll seek no peace, I will endure this fight he comes in darkness with a gathered storm to leave me naked, with a sense of right as blood is dripping, nightmares start to form this Prince, my brother slowed his pace till' dawn finds he's too late to execute my doom his tortured rage burns, my life has gone another's sword struck, and my life consumed this throne he seeks won't occupy his weight his bloodless sword pulled to curse my name he can't fulfill his oath that fueled his hate falls on his sword, his oath he swore to blame 9/23/22 contest One from the Darkside sponsor John Lawless
