The Lament of the Dead


The yards are empty, towers torn
No one here left to see and mourn

The bells still in the tower sing
The plaintive toll that which they ring

Petals untouched lay on the ground
Always seen but never found

The throne is barren, crown is lost
Bloodied, sullied, this was the cost

Betrayed, with aid, by harrowed prince
Son of the king that had long since

Kept kingdoms safe from armies vast
Brought to an end by death amassed

Never again shall light here glow
Never again will people know

The glory that was, but now is gone
The once great city, Lordaeron
Not very well written, but I was walking through the ruins of Lordaeron, and I really felt inspired to write something. ANYTHING. I tried, and came out with this. Hope it's not too bad =P

Feel free to comment... Please! Lol

This is not that bad, really!)
It reminds me of my own feelings as I was striding among the Ruins of this once great city.
