Remorse of a Ruler

I have walked through the world with kings Thinking my wealth and power could justify the end I have ignored the cries of the many And fed the selfishness of the few There will be none crying for my soul For I leave behind no legacy of honor And now upon my dying breath I have failed to justify who I have become There is no coin to balance the tray So I cannot deal or barter for my soul I now know I will be laid to rest in a place for the forgotten And forced to dwell upon the misery I created in life
