The Vulture's Throne

Submission

The Vulture's Throne

Skin & bone, the vulture's throne
A message cast in stone,
Eternal tears, for all held dear,
Submission, casts immeasurable fear,
The heart a ghost, no longer a host,
Leaves a shell, no life within,
Whispered cries, hold no disguise,
Immoral, slander, comply,
Truth holds no substance, 
for truth wears no armour,
To shield from the foe, 
Intent, they forgo,
Compassion on which you bestow,
Skin & Bone, the vulture's throne,
The message cast in stone.
Eternal tears for those held dear,
Submission casts immeasurable fear.
