Long ago



The drop of ink upon paper
Leads all to a frenzy in radius
They lead her to a stadium
And devour her by fire
The cold stone and sword
Is laid at the root
Stricken in age high upon the land
I always get what I want
And tonight I will make history
The world is tilted upon its axis
Love so bold it never had a chance
I own my own
I gain all things
When in revolution
And this is a revolution
This is war
A war of the worlds
A war I have already won
Long ago
