His foul name filled the souls of his people with dread And each kept to his cottage behind its stone wall. Yet wherever he walked, his black evil he spread; The rank tyrant, the Master of Foxhunters' Hall. In league with the devil So everyone said My soul has been sold Long before I am dead And where did I come from And where will I go But no one can answer As no one can know When he walked in the moonlight beneath the dark skies All the creatures were silenced, not one bird would call; But he'd leave ere the morning, before the sun rise, The rank tyrant, the Master of Foxhunters' Hall. The lord of the darkness So everyone said But I know about death Long before I am dead And why do I wander And where do I go All questions unanswered As no one can know For all time he will live in a land steeped with fear And each night he will wander, whate'er may befall; But do not show compassion, do not shed a tear - The rank tyrant, the Master of Foxhunters' Hall. There is no tomorrow So everyone said The past will be gone Long before I am dead And why do I wander And where can I go Expect no responses As no one can know The agreement once signed with hs own crimson blood Bought him power and riches, but kept him in thrall Till his body felt weary and none understood The rank tyrant, the Master of Foxhunters' Hall. The power of Hades As everyone said Would be my one goal Long before I am dead But now I am weary With one place to go But that is denied me And no one can know Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Dylan Thomas http://stores.lulu.com/davidmm |

Dark atmosphere, you have written it well, but the darker they are, the greater the need for release from this destiny, don't you think? Love, Margherita |

I usually love the back and forth between first and third person points of view.... and this is absolutely no exception. This is very well written, and I do look forward to reading many more of your thoughts. But this one goes to eleven... |
