Sleeping Volcano
I am not what I once was,
I have bled all the heat of forgotten mythes,
Old stories of fire,
And burning
and burning
and burning
I have set everything alight.
You walk alongside me ignorant of what I once held,
The wrath of Hades,
But now only a crater.
Now only a lake.
You walk alongside me,
My red now gone,
The wrath now tears of endless blue.
I am now only a whisper,
No one will remember me
No one can say my name
