Ruled By Fear

Ruthless tyrant, ruler of fear
Poisoned sword striking endlessly
Double-edged is every decision
Keep your body and lose your soul
Sacred vow made but tarnished by lust
Infatuated dreams
Secret love for another, insatiable
The fated plan began
He takes what he requires
No conscience will arise
The fuel was in his fire
Unrelenting pursuit of desire
His rivals chose their lives
Beauty bound his attention was no saving grace
She had to know her place
His hunger was fulfilled
Abused and cast aside
Scars will never die.
