They stood before me
As I stood at the head
Of the assembly

The insecure power
And the adrenaline jitters rose

They knew I killed
And smelled the kill

The sweet scent of blood
Dripping
Within their minds
Shallow inside
Obscure

As I was their leader
And I was their God
His power come upon me
As I kill him
I killed him

And I become man
As I became leader
As the crowd of many
Knelt before me

Fear
The object of the conquered
Honor untouched pride
Of the conqueror
