The Silent King

the silent king waits and watches for his chance to reclaim his throne

he watches the traitors with an all seeing gaze

never speaking, always looking

he is the silent king

he waits atop his throne of pawns, who died for his game

his crown rots, his throne as well, yet he waits silently

soon he will make his move, and be ruler once again

he is the silent king, and he will rule them all

never speaking, but always looking

he is the silent king.
