6.2.11

Descent to Number One

The damage has been done
The last Edelweiss is lost
Stepped on in pursuit to the last remnant of sun

The lone King screams of one
For which all will pay the cost
Ignoring the prayers from a fearing nun

The war is never won
He recites with exhaust
The last thread of the golden weaver has been spun

Spare him your sarcastic pun
Oh heart gone to frost
The tragedies doubling it's ton

Turn away! Allies begin to shun
Except one heartstruck maiden, daring to accost
She could never run

The end has begun
Her eyes have lost their gloss
Fallen, is this Adam's son
Forgot his true love in the descent to number one
