The Price

I sit upon my onyx throne
Carved and hewn from human bone
There is no sin for which I can atone
As I sit upon my onyx throne

The daylight dies in the palm of my hand
Dusk erupts unto a vacant land
A battlefield of cold blood drenched sand
As the daylight dies in the palm of my hand

I finger the pommel of my blood dripping sword
I have killed so many I fear I've grown bored
The crust of a halo in her final gasping word
As I finger the pommel of my blood dripping sword

I wake in a fit of violent laughter
I revel in filth, bile and slaughter
No one can guarantee my hereafter
As I wake in a fit of violent laughter

The field is littered with drying bone
This city is dead yet I feel not alone
He has come to ferry me home
And the field is littered with drying bone

This is the price for ultimate power
A hateful stone faced pitiful glower
I paid for this with their blood, still they cower
But this is the price for ultimate power

That's great. I like the imagery. It would make a good metal song for a sound track for an RPG game.

I'm the same way. That's how I get half of my stories. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, filled with imagery and emotion! Well done!!!

I love the Visual Style Here Bro! Very cool! Very Cool indeed!!!
I'd Hammer in a Dozen Stars and Flags here, but Alas I can only give one each.
Just take the others that don't show up, and keep em for Credit!
So your S+F counts are 11 higher on each column!!
Good One Bud!!! I Loved It!!!!!!

Later for Now, Syx.

Thanks for reading Night Star!

I'll keep them all in my Bag of Holding that extradimensional pouch should keep them safe until I can get "a guy I know" to have them "not laundered by the MOB".

Thanks for reading syx.

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat

LOL CTG!! That bag will work for that need! I "Know a Guy' on the west end of Asteroid Kesrense that'll take care of that. But ya gotta go out through the Forbidden Zone of the Zantels. Those Pirates are a pretty Nasty Ass bunch. I'd go past them by hitting the BlackHole in the Zeta system. Just go right into it, and You will end up on the other side of the GetLaydalot System. You will have to backtrack a little to get to the asteroid Kesrense though. About 2 Parsecs, so not too far back. And it will be worth it as He gives Ya something Xtra as a little thanx for giving Him the BizNess.! LOL!!!

a reply to: SyxPak

Okay sweet. I just had a second hand (but new to me!) Valikovix GEN II BIO-AI guidance system installed in my Gothrex A-wing, that thing hauls ass.

*punches in "Asteroid Kesrense" into guidance system*

Okay that should do it Syx. I'll have those stars and flags laundered in no time now. Plus something Xtra!

Those pirate goons know me down there though I contracted a bit of help from Captain Reznakk Gloor a few times, helped me pull in a $$1,000,000 bounty on some ex-con named Rid-something or other, he wore goggles, dead now though.

Hang on a sec I'm hitting the BlackHole.

*The ship rumbles, fire alarms go off and seemingly useless pipes and tubes drop from the ceiling*

By the Balls of Niburu! That was close.

Good thing it lets out on the other side of the Getlaydalot system. Every tine I go through that place I loose at least 100,000 credits and usually end up hitched to some blue alien broad, isn't that right Prizzy?

*A smoking hot blue alien broad fiddles with a few swithces on the ships paneling and winks at Cagliostro*

Heh.

Anyway. Backtrack two parsecs was it?

Hang on I got a tail...

I'll get back to you Syx...



(That was fun, lol)

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat

LMAO!!! That was good!!! Oh, The dude You were talkin about was Riddick. We used to call Him RidickHead, Or Riddick the Prick. He was an ass hole.....
and WOW! You have Prizzy on Your Ship?! Man She's hot as hell!! I love all The Blue-Skins! Sweet Jeeminy doodles!!!! LMAO!!!

a reply to: CagliostroTheGreat


Ummm..sword pommel's, battlefields and onyx thrones...has there ever been a time when such imagery...didn't...call to mind a company of Wizard, Elf, Men, Dwarvish folk and Hobbit's...I swear...I must have read those books a dozen times when I was a youngster...Littered fields and pursuits of power...Strange to think how often those fields have been littered in such a way...and are being littered still...

Thank you Cagliostro...for bringing back to me those memories of lying in bed...and being worlds away...
