your castle begins to burn to the ground all around you
the flames tare at all you have come to know
the heat rises within the its walls
yet you continue to sit upon your thrown
not moving but your hand to wipe the beads of sweat that run down your temples
the walls begin to give in to gravity
the large stones that make up the roof start to fall
one at a time, then faster and faster
sunlight pears through the now open wounds of your once home
crumbling, succumbing to the flames of retribution
the fortification meant to protect you has become your demise
