A Greatness Undone - Winterfylleth

How mighty those rays

That pierce the dew-speckled earth

Placing within it a seed

And for warmth, a fire-lit hearth

Bountiful mother

Raising a king to the throne

For among all of her brood

He shineth there brightly alone

How joyous the hunter

Who kept for himself every chase

Smiting the hand of each thane

Loosing wolves by his fading grace

Blessed orator

Bellowing loudly, the law

Beaten by wind and by virtue

As wolven ears fiercely ignore

How rotten and wretched

A hunter condemned to his prey…

How rotten and wretched

A hunter condemned to his prey

Frothing to gain upon riches

Tragedy’s endless foray

Treacherous idol

Bound to a greatness undone

Damning a mother to darkness

By recklessly selling the sun

Damning a mother to darkness

Recklessly selling the sun
