Thoughts of a Loner.

Golden Chains. (By Sapphirus)

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
A king of ace and crimson heart,
Heart set to deride humanity,
He brought the Moon all within his grasp,
Yet the stars within lost it's grace,
For the love within weighed less than riches multiplied.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
Whispers of silk and shadows softly play along,
Promises gilded that led her heart astray yet again,
Captivated by the phantom in the Opera of lies itself,
His touch masked by lies,
Masked by darkness where truths lay hidden,
Unseen and unheard,
Beneath the light of the judgmental day.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
In mirrors deep where his soul reflected lies,
A castle build on shifting sands and sighs,
He saw her tears yet he closed his crimson eyes,
For wealth to him was worth sacrificing her,
As he pushed her soul off the cliff to Satan,
Sacrifice of honour.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
She wore her heart into a golden cage,
Shimmering outside yet agonising and captive within,
A prisoner to his avarice and rage,
Her love a pawn in his checkered stage,
As he played out acts with her very life in his twisted mind.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
The diamond's gleam with a tear caught in light,
Her cries a symphony to his ears and heart,
He wore her pain decorated,
She was a trophy to his eternal might,
She was a conquest as she lost to the lord of Darkness.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
He stood tall in his empire cold and grand,
A lonely king was he?
Or a maniac who was passionate for power?
In the mirror's failed depth,
He fails to understand the essence of life he lost,
His wealth becoming a void where "dreams" could expand.

In towers high where golden dreams once lived,
For love he traded might and power,
A heart of cold stone beneath a graced crown of thorns,
Bleeding with a godly smile,
A monarch lost as his kingdom reigned,
Alone forever within his kingdom.
