jakebeThis was an old one that I just dug up. I rather liked it when I reread it, so here it is. It helps if you know about Changeling: the Dreaming to get this, but not entirely necessary...and even then, you may not get it.

The Raining King
We'd always thought this would be fun
We never thought we'd hurt someone
I guess the stakes got higher as we grew
Conventional knowledge we knew
would do us in
and so
We were done playing in the park
We'd crucify bugs on a lark
We'd slaughter buzzards just for fun
in our new Empire of the Sun
We should have stayed there
more
We found the Space of Pretty Things
We'd tear off all their fragile wings
and we would sing
Hey Jude
And with this newfound fear we found
We stopped the wings from coming 'round
And all sprung creatures went to bed
All hail! The Raining King is dead
Because we didn't know
the portent of out stories
all dreams of power and glory
and multi-coloured prisms
were drowned in cynicisn
we had the best intentions
always
always
always
We prayed to nobles for our sins
and staved off our autumnal winds
You got a day job in the mall
How could you still betray us all?
Do you remember
when...?
We'd always thought this would be fun
We never thought we'd hurt someone
We'd slaughter buzzards just for fun
In our old Empire of the Sun
I thought I knew you
then
Because we didn't know back then
the important of our stories
our dreams of power and glory
and chocolate-coated prisms
were drowned in cataclysm
Did we forget to mention
we had the best intentions?
Always
Always
Always
Always
And with this new mistrust we found
Our ears and tails stopped coming 'round
We sold our souls to winter's dread
All hail! The Raining King is dead...

I am god as far as many people are concerned. I am someone who always has something to say but goes about it the right way so that they actually are listened to. I will more than likely have many projects on the go at once, but I can handle it. I'm someone who handles stress very well and knows exactly what they are doing at all times. I am a very influential person to those around me, they all pick up my phrases and mannerisms but I don't mind, I know that what I do is original. I am a great leader, too!
