“If thine sword be the faster
Then glory to your King!
They’ll cheer at my demise,
And drunk will kingdoms sing.
But, If Misery becomes you,
At least you’ll have Companions
For if your steeds do falter,
I’ll make graveyards out of canyons!”
I'll kill
Each and
Everyone of you
I'll make
A graveyard of this canyon
I never knew of all these embers
All this frightful incandescence
That sort of thing that makes a man’s inner alarmist swell with pride
He was begotten in all-flame, Edmund:
Bastard Son of Gloucester. No one could ever take that from him,
And oh how they all tried:
I never felt so at home-
Who knew we had so much in common?
I found meaning in your hiss- for sages say, snakebites kill in every language.

Thanks again
And I hope you did give "Apostatize!" a listen on my band's site. I think it's so much better than just reading, but that's just me. Unless you're not a fan of screaming music... hahaha. Anyway, if you haven't, the site is:

I am sorry to say that i did not get the meaning in this. I apologize for that. I can see that the main character can place himself in anothers shoes for they have lived simialr experiences, but who is that main character? Death? A knight? Thank you for entering my contest.
