Heaven of Hell, Hell of Heaven by Martin Peel on Wednesday, 06 May 2009 at 21:34

With fleeting words and unleashed tears
I am cast down at the end of my years

Proud as Lucifer before his fall
I mocked all around me, walking tall

The feelings I had became too much
I could no longer see, I had to touch

I fought with weaklings, I battled fools
I mocked the vanquished, I broke their rules

Finally my youth turned fey
My eyes were dull, my hair ran grey

My enemies had number through their common cause
Of Pyrrhic battles, long fought wars

Overpowered and alone
They dragged me from their golden throne

So again like Satan, I am cast down
Through hate of God, for lust of crown

I am sentenced by my peers
To suffer through my lifelong fears

My punishment is just and undisputed
My rise to power soon refuted

No moral is learnt, no fable here
Save to love your brethren is to live free from fear
