Azure Skies
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
