Tyrant
I want to be a smiling god
A madly-staring figure
Tearing apart creation.
I want to be the rumored Nero
with his rumored lyre
As the world is burning
I hear the music only.
I want to be moved by nothing
But by my own will.
I am hungry for power.
I am starving for chaos.
I want to end
Like a legend.
Crucify me on a symbol of peace.
Burn my image in a green meadow
And speak my name no more.
I want to be timeless.
I want to know and not be known.
But all who see me tremble.
It is better to be feared
Than to be loved.
Humans forget love
but fear can be a scar,
an ugly mark upon their memory.
