White cloth tucked in

Coats tailored to the skin

History is turning

Kings are falling

People rising

Earth changing

The old ways torn down

Art is made with the blood of crowns

Figures distorted

Evil an cruel

Or naievee an unknowing

Paying the price for lost time

Bells are rung

Death is celebrated

Rulers change

A new death everyday

A simple complaint is all you need

The weight will be taken off their shoulders if they dare speak

The guillotine chops endlessly

Distance yourself for the carnage you let be

g your pen to snuff out a life

Your ink is their blood

Time is ticking

Your death is coming

The more lives you end the closer you get

Betraying the ones closet to you will be your last regret

5 years of carnage an chaos will come to an end

The final step will be taking your head

The story ends as it begins

Kings are killed again and again

The cycle continues for years and years

The reaper you befriended will do it's deed
