A Crown of Ravens

Aline  darkness with silver and black

Allow these dark thoughts to sliver back

Inside the crown of delicate decaying feathers

A crown made for flight weighs me down

Heavy is the crown that holds the thoughts I drown

Ravens defend their home from the vultures overhead

A crown of ravens, only murder can lay in that bed

Lay down their wings to covet my ears and eyes

Grey washes over the once benevolent clear skies

Their obsidian  claws  diligently dig deep into thy soul

Black words drip from the brain to pen to make me whole

Cloaked in black, leading an army of murder to cleanse thy heart

Accused the ravens of breeding doubt, feigning tearing joy apart

Clairvoyance upon thy eyes shows me they only tore out the cursed part

No longer a slave to  the abyss, the crown still silver and bold

Taught thyself a lesson I won't forget even when grey and old

A king of ravens is a master of the darkness within his own soul

The onyx raven's that form thy crown will never go weak or dull

Now my thoughts fly freely as predators in the night

Protect thy kingdom from frights my obsidian knights
