A Once Mighty King

Here I stand an old decrepit king I once ruled a well prosperous land But now like the land before me I've become so withered My mind has departed my body My speech is all but gone What soul is left is now fading Forever away into eternal darkness My avarice held no bounds And now I must pay the price Walking endlessly within my tomb Sheltered away from the world The friends I had were only foes That were only decieving me A puppet to them I was A ruler I thought to be Now I walk in endless circles I'm constantly calling out Awaiting the day for someone To help me be free from pain There is nothing left for me So until then, I shall wait Even though waiting Will soon have no meaning for me
