Lyrical Analysis of...
The Lich King (Part 1)
- Chapter 1
- Our tale begins in The Forest of the Dead,
- Seeping with sin, and a palpable sense of dread.\
- Webs of silk and an eternal fire,
- Trudging through silt, a once glorious empire.\
- Their land she had taken without much question,
- Slaughtered their families with next to no oppression.\
- Her armies had risen from graves left unseen,
- Making sense of her title, "The Necromancer Queen".\
- Wielding dark magic with no second thoughts,
- It was perceived as tragic to those in her plots.\
- There was a tale once told of the things she had done,
- Though it's risky to be caught mentioning it, even for fun.\
- This magic she thought would afford her the modesty of an image,
- Instead only brought death before the neighboring village.\
- Pillaged and torn from their families in fright,
- Most of them burned as they slept, the others soon died.\
- She adorned their skulls around her castle in glee,
- Like a child so ignorant of the gravity of the actuality of this decree.\
- We best mention the beasts she had caged,
- Within walls of steel cast in the blood of her mage.\
- He betrayed her in Winter 1492, tried to poison her brew with the talon
- Of newt, and he thought he succeeded,\
- He went to sleep that evening thinking he would soon be king, and only
- Hours later, for his life he pleaded.\
- "Don't kill me miss, I had no hand in crafting that brew!"
- He begged for his life while clenching tightly his shoe.\
- "You will now serve me eternal for this betrayal! I will cast you in iron
- And in my magic chain mail!"\
- With a flick of her wrist and an explosion of blue,
- The mage was destroyed covering the stone walls in a red hue.\
- The Necromancer Queen, it had seemed, loved nobody in this life,
- Strife was her partner, Misery was her knife.\
- Although, she had loved before becoming so corrupt
- The King of Elves would soon come and sober her up.\
- The Kingdom now sought to expand it's crushing hand,
- And the Queen had enough of outsiders coming to take her land.\
- Danger would not drive this Queen to move, so she devised a plan,
- It could not fail; she would swoon the King and all would be well.\
- However, despite having spies all around, the Queen could not account
- For the rumors surrounding the King. Was he coming to take her crown?\
- King Taryn had people from Frostmount to Erdinger, Lithka and Ihmbee
- Ready to fight for their King if need be.\
- Reputation preceded the King as he stepped, never slept on,
- Lest you not wake up without a dagger in your back.\
- If the tales were as true as the Bard's claimed them to be,
- No man had yet lived after challenging the King.\
- Through ruthless division of resources and untouchable resolve,
- Fruitless scouring for rations and a sense of absolve,\
- The King and his men at last arrived at the Queen's Fortress,
- Realizing again that they had so much more than just this.\
- Her defenses stood with such pride and dexterity,
- No volunteers could be chosen this time, a rarity.\
