A cage with no bars
Unchained but not free
A ceiling of stars
Thick walls of the sea
Men wail on my shores
They cry to the sky
Condemned only to live
Here 'til the day they die.
What am I?

Proud banner flew
Over man and horse
Brave and fearless
We staid the course.
We drew our swords
We hefted our spears
They drew their guns
They oiled their gears
Gunned down that day
We died in the mud
The banner now lost
Among bones and blood.
Who were we?

I am old
I am dark
I am hollow
I am stark.
Men have worshipped
At my altars of stone
They bring me black gems
With which to atone.
I am fear
I am blight
I am evil
I am night.

Terrible creature, horrible sight
You cannot escape me, try as you might
If even a scratch I do leave on your skin,
You'll go stark raving mad, killed from within.

I sit in my castle
In my kingdom on the sea
I look down on my peoples
Who live in harmony
There is a delicate balance
Between the spell and the machine
My soldiers carry rifles
Yet their swords still glow and gleam.
My city is not soiled
Like our brethren's to the north
Its sun and sky that's valued here
I know beauty and its worth.
