Aaron the Moor

A Metal song in homage to the Greatest Shakesperean Villian of All Time.

 

I dig up dead men from their graves

And set them upright silent slaves

At the doors of friends they stand

Words carved in flesh with my own hand

Though I am dead and gone away

Please cry for me a thousand days

Though I have said my final bye

Let not your sorrow ever die

Let not your sorrow ever die

Let not your sorrow ever die

Let not your sorrow ever die

 

Some say revenge is best served cold

Well I like mine served a la mode

Let numbness melt and drip away

From tender hearts and sanity

So I can poke and prod and push

Your sensibilities to mush

And sear the back of your eyelids

So when you sleep you just see this

Though you fear no frightful beast

No god or devil in the least

You fear me a mortal man

True evil is a mortal man

True evil is a mortal man

True evil is a mortal man

 

You warn your children of the night

And push them all towards the light

I was a child not long ago

And I was forced down the same road

I am a product of my world

No hell is here no horns beheld

Just flesh and bone

Humanity

Look in the mirror and you’ll see

Look in the mirror and you’ll see

Look in the mirror and you’ll see

You reap what you sow

so reap what you see

the hip hop/spoken word flow works well. I'm a fan of ryhme to beat and because of the word choice and hook the feet keep tapping and the head keeps rocking. Almost a positive blast with lines like "a la mode" which takes me to a soul's of mischief style place.

thanks for the throwback

This is great! It has a smooth flow and a steady beat that leads you through the poem. I enjoyed it and could see the poem as a lead in to a great story. Cherrie
