Pandora's Throne

 

- Pandora's Throne -

He stands there watching

Just watching

Wondering why the night

Has become so endless

And so utterly

Cold and lonely

He walks on the barren earth

Staring at the empty sky

They have now stolen

The stars and the moon from me

He thinks in silence

He waits for them

To finally come and take him

To the place where

They have imprisoned

His hopes and dreams

Behind stone gray walls

He wonders what it will feel like

When he is finally allowed

To drift away

To a place where he can hide

The remnants of his soul

And his overwhelming guilt

He wonders when

It all started to slip away

When everything began to turn sour

To wither and die

But the memories fail him

And he is left staring

At Pandora's Throne

At the high seat

Of the world's misfortune
