Blood for the Top
Raised on rot and fed on pride
Learned to kiss the ring and hide the knife inside
He was bred to rule, not built to feel
Signed his soul in war-torn steel
Burned the books that dared to teach
Cut out tongues that tried to preach
Called it order, called it peace
But the graveyard grew with every speech
Blood for the top, lies for the throne
No one rules alone—they just sit on bone
March ‘til your boots wear down to skin
If he can’t win, heat’ll burn wh’s left within
Cities gasping under flags he waved
Promises carved on the backs of slaves
They begged for bread, he gave them brass
Called it freedom, wched it pass
And when the mirror cracked from grin to grave
He toped himself in the ash he made
Said “Kings don’t bleed, they brand the sky”
And turned the world to a battle cry
Blood for the top, screams for the feast
Made a god of the worst, killed off the at at least
He won’t stop ‘til the stars fall down
Long live the bastard wearing the top.
312 next —Gothic, dark humor, haunted or horror-based. Think Amityville meets sarcasm.
