I can hear her now,
In the throes of a violent dream,

Thrashing about,
Unable to see what it means,

There must be a waking consequence,
To sleeping sins,

In this nightmare,
She wished none of her people spared,

It's like she was there,
Along the banks of a red sea,

The blood red tide did swell,
As though the sea could breathe,

She managed to catch her breath,
As resolve grew within her chest,

Contemplate the scene,
And will happen next,

Azure skies, harbingers of change,
Nothing stays the same,
I summon what strength remains,
Walk upon unknown terrain,
They told me when I took this crown,
Every day would be a fight,
Sate inherited bloodlust,
Be benevolent and just,


This vision of a paupers corpse,
Visited upon by flies and carrion,

Startling revelation,
That speaks to her own rule,

Simply a manifestation?
Or the ways of the world?

A fearful apparition?
Or the ways of the world?

A gilded queen,
Tears glistening,
Is there still time,
Would it even matter,

Weak willed ruler,
Succumbed to the curse,
Of the queens who came before,
Will she be the last,

A gilded queen,
Tears glistening,
Is there still time,
Would it even matter,

As the ocean breaks upon the stone,
My fate is my own,

Azure skies, harbingers of change,
Nothing stays the same,
I summon what strength remains,
Walk upon unknown terrain,
They told me when I took this crown,
Every day would be a fight,
Sate inherited bloodlust,
Be benevolent and just,
