A Remote Glance

A
remote glance 

You're sitting pretty
Red rocks
Red sky
Green in the water
Green in your mysterious eyes
It was a time 
A time before we woke up to the lies

A distant and yet palpable
Memory
The way it was
Mermaid alone
On a favorite stone
Waiting for a Daimon
Her warrior to come home

They crashed my circle
Slaughtered my ghosts
Took my jewels
And then they grew wings
Gone from sight
The fugitive armada
Reptilian spaceships fleeing in the night
Heading for a distant world
Left me for dead
Beneath the fire and stinking acid
Celebrating before I was stiff and cold

The ultimate survivor
Blessed and cursed by the ancestor
A message from the depths of the wilderness
Hope from the blue
They failed to extinguish
The essence of True
And so...
I gathered
My wretched shadows
My loyal slayers 
Summoned their greatest fears
And we came
To avenge the Engel's tears

I am here
For the war
For those ancients who gifted me
A cosmic legend
The universe's greatest legacy
I am here
For the blood
To replenish and to spill
I am here
For a father
I am here to kill

There is no turning back now 
There is no haven now
Not on this planet
Not in any galaxy anywhere
For the haunted and the hunted 
These avaricious marauders
The lying pretenders to my throne
Our vengeance will be ruthless
Absolute
Final
I will rule alone

And in the beginning and the end
Spread my hungry wings beneath a brand new sun
And survey an empire unlike any other
Raise my blade and toast the Dragon
The keys to heaven and hell and beyond
Resting in my bloodstained hand

A remote glance
You're sitting pretty
My heart
My soul
My Love
My destiny

I am ready
