Puppetry



the silver eerie is rising
wind whispers shivers
Yet Selene reveals herself
Illuminating her majesty
A spell has been casted
Entities start to subside
One by one
Yet Hades thwarts
defining his territory
A spell has been casted
Silence breaks in the wilds
Where restless souls swarm
Wandering, toiling
Scourging, hailing
The show is about to start
Ruler of deceit
Hiding from his mask
In the dark you weep
Oh, master of string - pulled will
Sole connection
A spindle bundle
Entwined
Unseen to the weary eyes
Yet deadly
Wooden
Fragile
Attached
You move without recourse
His words, your breath
His will, your work
Bravo! Bravo!
Reverberating hails from the underworld
As Helios starts to rise
All were packed up to their demise.
