"Lovingly Warm Embers" A Cinder theme

VERSE I take it in

These violent scenes.

Infectious heat

Like a disease

Sweet memories.

Their struggles vain

Scream every word

It's so absurd

They won't be heard.

You beg and plea

Your hopes your needs

Nothing to me.

I feel no shame

No guilty pain

No soft regret

My goal is plain.

CHORUS To see it mine

To see it fall

To see it burn

To see it crawl.

The warm embrace

That crimson tear

The ice cold heart

That grips your fear.

VERSE And when it's done

And smoke shall rise

And that sweet hush

And buzz of flies.

The blacken lumps

Those piles of rots

Those ashen forms

Piled up in knots.

A massive grave

Soot-clad craters

"My darling knaves...

My will won't waver."

CHORUS To see it mine

To see it fall

To see it burn

To see it crawl.

The warm embrace

That crimson tear

The ice cold heart

That grips your fear.

Note: Each bar of the poem I tried to keep within 4 or 5 syllables. I read some where in Asian culture it's suppose to be bad luck, and implies death. It helped the song to keep that in mind. Basically this is a song sung like a romantic confession even though it's about murder and torture and burning people. It's suppose to be the mindset of Cinder as she watches Beacon burn on that rooftop as Merc is recording. The poem goes into a bit of her day dream of how glorious her triumph will be as she struts pass the smoking corpses left behind in the aftermath of Beacon's fall.
