I've destroyed empires of past
The city gate I do pry
All the victim can do is cry
Even those that hide cannot last

A miner in a cave, or a sailor on a mast
Be sure that all will die
I ride through the day, at night I do fly
And into eternity souls I do cast

Despair oh weak, despair oh strong
For I will smother you of breath
And slowly, painfully give you death
No matter if righteous, no matter if wrong

But on my own, I have no power
I'm a servant, who waits on my master every hour

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
