A dusk in shadows, a palace in pain A king without crown and a queen in shame A sceptre destroyed among a throne maimed A jester's court raptured in flames A shallow moor in fog silhouette A castle of souls breathes haunted breath A path of blood royal upon ancient steps A noble birth wrought forgotten death A shadow of dust atop earth and stone A fallen angel without heaven or home A sombre praise borne by no one A gallant virtue among clouds without sun A dusk in shadows, a fortune of fame A monarch of lust, forever erased A rapture in twilight, a cold northern blaze A solicitude of death unknown in disgrace
