The coupe

Biting back at dragon's scale,
I run through the weapons crossing like chaotic clouds flying past.
The mighty sword rise in air, 
Only to drown in sin so deep.
My hands stained with blood so red,
Root betrayed.
Blood of kin,
A price I have paid.
Heaven's cry, in torrent rage.
                                                        ~Byeol

Biting back at dragon scale: symbolises act of going against the emperor 
Root betrayed: betraying your own family
