Hail My Kingdom

Behold, I am your king, please do not bow before me Human I am; blood I shed to prove I am just like thee My lands are also yours; I own nothing that God made Slaves I free as people, smiting all men of hateful jade I rule my kingdom with an iron fist and a golden heart A king you may call me, but I’m merely playing a part With chivalry resurrected, respectful acts I will show A woman’s smile lightens my spirit with a great glow My knights show me loyalty, a sign I seek in my court Kingdoms we wish not to invade, we wish for support A better world we try to create, less violence and hate Dueling wrongdoers, before our cause proves too late A queen of inner beauty I search for, to be at my side One to aid me to guide my kingdom with much pride To share a love found only beyond the stars, so bright A dream it may be today, but one still within my sight Within this castle I will smile upon my almighty throne Strongly build on a foundation of care, with every stone Resting on such beautiful lands, free for all life to roam Hail my kingdom, with arms wide open, welcome home I open my eyes, only to stare into a deep dark void My perfect world is no more, forever destroyed Cruel how the mind can be, I remain its mere pawn Leaving me with just a dream, a happiness gone
