In The Palace~Lamentoso

My king, perfect and unrelenting.

All that you can see shall be yours.

Patriarch and savior to all those worthy.

We are but humble servants to life's greatest creation.

My king, inquisitive and wise

Why do you choose to mingle amongst fodder?

Why does rubbish peak your finer interests?

What do they provide that we cannot?

My king, ambitious and admirable.

My devotion is a testament to your greatness.

No request is too ambitious or difficult.

Your goal becomes mine, and my life becomes yours.

My king, do not be deceived by their virtues.

There are snakes in your court.

They wish to confide their humanity within you.

I only ask that you don't let their thoughts preoccupy your own.

My king, you have changed.

Why must you suffer from the concerns of the many?

Why have you cast me aside for the counsel of another?

I serve only you; my holy grail.

My king

I've been driven mad with immeasurable despair; I've lost you.

The thick air cuts my lungs, my heart bleeds & my face swells up in tears.

Why do you gaze upon me with sorrow?

My king, you no longer display your purpose, your conviction, your grace.

I see you searching for new meaning & I know I have failed you.

You are a king without a name;

A ruler whose empathy poisoned him.

A leader whose sacrifice was for the unworthy.

The king that sought to unify all under his power, and judge them equally.

I see now that you have evolved into something greater.

Beautiful, & tragic, yet with the capacity to accomplish even greater visions.

You are now Human; a man, as much as any another.

Their poison takes hold of you, but I will draw my last breath soon.

Your dreams will not die with you.

This is a song(Song Name in the title)from the soundtrack of a show called "Hunter X Hunter". Not only did the show have a profound effect on me, but this song is also emblematic of some of the biggest moments in the story. This song is classical and tragic, and I thought it was the perfect one to use for this piece.
