act none

i think i heard the last one

i think i heard it falling

but every time i look

there’s a blinding light calling

---

they said i shouldn’t try

i’d only taste more pain

i really did attempt

but i simply couldn’t refrain

---

now there’s a naked procession

a broken crown on the floor

an empty throne down the hall

and it’s not so cold anymore.
