Sorrow of the Metal Overlord

Iron mountains and steel fortresses
Gray seas under a burned sky
Life of cold, unfeeling metal
This is my home

A field of rivets and plate
A jungle of poles and chains
A wasteland of rust and shards
With not a breath of warmth

Gilded knights in shining armor
Never moving, ever guarding
Their endless silent vigil
Keeps my kingdom safe

The Cold and the Hard
Stretching as far as the eye can see
I am the ruler of this lifeless kingdom
This is my home

This work is truly grim and forstbitten; worthy to be shrieked of in the northen grim and frostbitten kings of the frostbitten and grim north. In all seriousness, I loved this; overwhelming glad -- ironically, as the sorrow literally drips from this -- to find this.

I love the cold ruthless image this showed me. I hate it here; I want to go there. ~Wish Upon A Star
