Excuse me for a moment while I break the silence
Clear my throat and scream defiance
Learn the ropes and force an alliance
What don't you understand?
I refuse to stand
Won't let it slip through my fingers
Grasp it- In what can only be described as violence
An empire founded from the ground up
A wall of defense grown
I don't want your throne
I'll build my own
Not with wood- but stone
Upon it I will sit alone
And may it be known
My crown will not be made of thorns
Silver and gold may be mixed with lead
At least my head bares no horns.

"Everything has its beauty but not everyone sees it."

"Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles."

Grim determination.
Sounds like you have real sand in your gut.
I like your style!
