I live here tonight,
I reign here by right,
the sun sets out of sight,
and in the dark comes light.
Home for the day,
Joker and the Jack,
in my court of cards,
in my house of cards.
Cryptids lounge in the conscience,
Vampires hunger in the vessels,
Werewolves prowl in the woods,
Zombies stumble in the zoos.
They say war is blind,
but I know it's me who's can't see.
Threats on the edges of my realm,
While strife runs rampant inside.
Moral of the story,
Aesop said he says,
she says, we says,
riding while they sleighs.
Pop my collar,
you're on my turf,
better put a leg up,
and mark my earth.
Minions dominate,
denominator,
fractional percentages,
are my mode of operation.
Redundancy in the
domination of my dominion,
trees fight the light,
for the right of the night.
"Hey man, I'm a total metalhead now,
do you know The Who or AC/DC,
they're all the rage in the heavy metal genre,
I listen to them 24/7/3-6-5."
My sky; don't look up,
scared of heights?
Don't look down,
look me in the eye.
Writing to rock is different,
then writing to roll,
I write to ball outside
and do a little waltz.
I live here tonight,
I reign here by right,
the sun sets out of sight,
and in the dark comes light.
