In The Shadow Of Greatness

S
ee Jack run

Unable to summit
Wallowing in his envy
And permanently
Stained by hate
Scheming and scrounging in the shadow of greatness
Has not
Will never make them great

The essense of perfection
The eye of the storm
Lying and stealing
That didn't get you some
Not a drop
Pretending  to be
What you haven't got 
Great?
I think fucking not 
Defiling greatness didn't make you that

You can fool yourself
And foolish John doe
Saying you are so doesn't make it so
Will never make you so
You're born with true greatness
That coveted gift of ancient blood
Dragons and and Engels
The horns and the tail
Were never
Will never be on sale

The Tree of life
Many leaves
Rotting and budding
Many degrees of sight
But... 
There is only one true face of darkness
One root
It's not in your mirror soldier
There is only one true face of thep light
One main branch
And it's not in your mirror soldier
The city of knowledge has one key
And exclusive entry
There is but One
Mythic lover
The face that thrills and kills
Her
It's not in your mirror soldier
Never will be

See Jane run
Hunch-backed at the door
Wallowing in her envy
And permanently
Stained by hate
Having done it all
Unable to summit
The dark snake from the ages
Will render them small

King and Queen 
Pretender
Once lord almighty and multiple sinner
Along with the scaly rest 
Wannabe carcasses
Haphazardly strewn
In the unrelenting shadow of greatness

We were one
Then two
We are one

The undeserving shall find no rest
Destined for failure
In the shadow of greatness

It'll be a thousand years before the lady speaks again
