Sitting in the cinders

I have to admit,

 I am a touch disappointed.

I was supposed to lead you to destruction,

 and now I sit on cooling coals.

You just couldn't get along?

Some of you made the attempt to give a bit of hope,

 and look where it got you.

Now,

  nothing to do.

I look at the landscape,

 and no one mentioning something about freezing over.

Hell froze over did it?

As always clever, as usual insightful. Rarely I suggest you look at your work again. But I think this line trips up the read:
Some of you tried to attempt to give a bit of hope.

[Jon Roggie]

Good point. Made a change.

[Shannon]

Much smoother to me.
