Fallen Leader

Without us.
Finally beat into silence.
Dark world,
crumbs of hope dropped to mice.

I was leading,
now under what I hate.
Watching him burn only home,
standing at hell's gate.

Gazing, solem,
so full of everything.
The world cast to ashes,
nothing left to sing.

I thought we were immortal,
I always gave it all.
Now the fire swirls around,
watching my reign fall.

Slade is taking over,
he's laughing at me too.
Raven's eyes catch with mine,
a single tear shed, blue.

I watch her in wonder,
but also in terror shear.
What are we to do now,
if even Raven cries her tear?

Starfire is in denial,
she seems to want to run.
I told her this life
wasn't always fun.

Beast Boy gawks,
he can't seem to understand.
Terra moves away from him,
reaching Slade's side, his hand.

Cyborg's arms are limp,
he's lost will to fight.
Rain agenst his metal skin,
cold, dark night.

And I'm to be his fledging,
to fight on his side.
To destroy the city I love so much,
things I tried to hide.

Moving out and moving in,
forced to leave my friends.
Watching Slade and Terra,
following them to the end.

Soon to fight the others,
as their loss grows.
Although giving in at my comand,
they may arise, who knows?

And so I drift away,
feeling hard with dread,
To fight for a cause for which I don't belive,
I would rather be dead.
