Darkness crept through the floors of the castle

On the day that Her Highness slit the throat of her king

The skies mourned with her as if they've been told

That the demons of hell were not after the gold.

Awaken by the rays of the sun she was

To find Her king laid before her very eyes,

Just an empty chamber drowned in his own blood

Whose soul was gone, and was cold as ice.

"I loved you, my dear." she whispered to his ear,

And so did he, at least that she knows.

But the difference was that he loved himself more

So much so that he failed to keep her close.

Because the truth was that to him she was a prop, a material, a prize

Of a great powerful being that he once wished to become.

And when there came a time to choose between power and love,

He chose power over the life that was to come.
