Epitaph

Drag me along pathways of gold
Show me the means to the end
Follow your footsteps abundantly clear
My silvery shackles are friends

Hang my head in silken noose
And watch my life force slowly ebb
Conceive treachery for no one but me
Spin me tightly inside your white web

Slice through my skin with knives made of steel
Then drink the blood from my veins
Wresting with morality still
Time to let go of the reigns

Bury me still in rocks made of granite
The cover my grave with concrete
Leaving no trace of the man that I was
For I feel this life was complete
