sabotage

By molock

sabotage

with tempered steel,
a sharpened sword.
​in an act of sabotage
​against  the sorcerer,
you took the powers
and made them yours.
pick up your shield
​saddle up your horse.
heavy is the head that
wears the crown,
​when you're the next
overlord....

it's witching season
for the sorcerer.
​employ the prince of
darkness,
to be the enforcer.
​signed on the dotted
line,
to open hells door.
​sold a soul,
​...to even the score.
a fallen angel,
​rolling thunder...
​a poison arrow
for the hunter

​sold a soul
to take a life.
two wrongs
​don't make a right.
heavy is the head that
wears the crown,
when the devil has you
in his sights

​you run
'cause there's no where
left to hide
voices from the shadows
echo a plot of your demise.
rolling thunder,
​lighting strikes.
a poison arrow for the
hunter
and he shot you right
between the eyes....

    Better an overlord than an underling I always say Mo. Enjoyed the nod to Shakespeare I believe, with the "Heavy hangs the head..." effectively employed and re-enforced by the later repetition. Sorcerers always seem to be the bad guys, except for Merlin and the Witch of the East. Cheers my friend! - Dan

    I totally agree overlord all the way if I have a choice. I wrote this a while back, my attempt at a heavy metal song. the art work comes from a band called "Molly Hatchet" They always had this kind of imagery on their album covers. as for the wicked witch I had to ask my girl what movie it was from 'cause I honestly have never seen that one ....people tell me that's weird. lol. Cheers my friend

    Maybe she was the wicked one (witch of the east) - make that the Witch of the West (good one) - I forget which now, cheers again! - Dan
