Crowned & Winged

Wraith!
Majesty of desolation
My ruinous path is cold and endless
Peril skulks my haunted fief
One with darkness
Benighted lands my perfect view
All their thoughts of strife and discord
I have nourished
Hidden in the cracks of the earth

Sovereignty in triumph
Flittering malignance reigns
...I rule whence your light cannot reach

Soar on torn wings
My herald of the secret shadow
Your chill speeds over dying kingdoms
Cloaked in witching pride

Fly!

Before creation's light
When all was sea and sky
My soul was old, the shadow deep
Conspiracy, the enemy

Wolves!
My thralls let loose afar
Wisdom beyond that of mortals
Calling me in wicked tongues
Stones so quiet
No ravens croak above my tower
No rats burrow 'neath its dungeons
Unnerving silence
Wordless sorcery and deceit

Sovereignty in triumph
Flittering malignance reigns
Mistress of death my dearest
Spread your wings!
