He was a mighty king

           Who loved his golden sword

           He would do anything

           To conquer all the world.

                        ***

            The sharpness of his blade

            Caused terror beyond measure

            And all those who betrayed

            Would die for his own pleasure.

                        ***

           A skilled and ruthless fighter

          Undaunted in his power quest

          He made his kingdom brighter

          Stealing from those he oppressed

                       ***

          But in his blind and crazy lust

          He never thought to see the day

          When his empire would be dust

          And he would fall into decay.

                       ***

         ‘How sad and useless was my life

         And how much evil I have done

         I have no son,no friends,no wife

         I don’t deserve to see the sun!’

                      ***

         ‘I have inflicted so much pain

          Because I had a heart of ice

          I feel that it was all in vain

          So now it’s time for my demise!’

                     ***

          And so the sword he loved so much

          When he felt powerful and well

          Took his life with a single touch

          Sending his soul straight to hell!
