An Old Darken Throne
An Old Darken Throne
I walked alone
by an old darken throne;
it had given me fright
just of its sight,
I held on tight because I
know I am going for a ride
of some other kind
it will blow one’s mind,
my own tantalized soul
made no joke to what I hold
I stand so bold
to the man getting close,
He is dressed in all black suit
at first I thought I was seeing
Edgar Allan Poe walking around
wearing a big old long hat on his head.
But when he stood so near
I had gone to sleep
into a very bad dream
ravens where flying around
looking for the lost and found,
Pains started coming my way
in a cloud of darkness
deep within my soul
my body started turning cold,
I walked alone
to an old darken throne
now became my home.
