Warrior Alone

Everybody wants to be
King of the mountains
The fox's meow
Lord of the almighty tree
Pretty in the catbird seat
Everybody wants to be

Warrior alone
Master of the universe
Drinking at will
From that well titled blessing and curse
They're lying and killing and stealing 
Wheeling and dealing
Everybody wants to be

Warrior alone
King of the castle
Master of the pitch chthonic world
Guardian of the Books
The permanent shadow on her soul
Hated, loved and feared
Like no other
The supreme hunter
Everybody wants to be

Warrior alone
Slayers 
Innumerable Slayers
On bended knee
Worshipping the ghost predator
The great beast
Strong and tall 
In his tempestuous clutches  
Hell and beyond the ivory wall
The rhythm of it…
All, all, all
Everybody wants to be
The one with the clearest sight
Prince of darkness
Patrician of the light

Warrior alone
Slayers 
Innumerable Slayers
Daemons on bended knee
Surrounded by the wretched carcasses
Of the unworthy pretenders and conspirators
And...
Seated on the grand throne
Ferocious in midnight and burnished horns
Everybody wants to be…

Warrior alone

I am the malefic Versifier
NecroWmancer
