I am the king of vermin, rodents, rats and plagues
Of all the darkside, I am monarch, a duke to thrones unknown
My palace of flesh, a river of souls
My guards, the souls of war
Between light and darkness,
between time and infinity, lies my realm I call my own
I hail nor good, nor a I evil
I tell not truth, yet I don't lie
I am not ugly or do I charm
I hide among the shades
Although my chest carries a heart, it serves its purpose not
For life it doesn't bring to me, love and hate is dust
Without movement still in time, usurping life itself
I am of substance and of air, a story told no more
I am not dead and yet I sleep, I do not hear, yet I'm not deaf
My hands can shape and must destroy, a gracious being, yet insecure
I am king and I am begger
I am what you call destiny
