Throne, or: An Arrival in a Room

from Interim in Terra by Nivi

/

lyrics

here's you
the only person qualified to lead
and simultaneously
the last one i expected

i thought for sure that doctor morrin
or an underling of his
would take the throne
make it their own

here's me
tossed maliciously
a spanner coming home at last
triumphantly returning from the wild

but my attempt
is met with hate and contempt
i left a child
and i came back reviled

----

i saw it happen
i watched you falling from the sky
i watched you die
but here you are
your eye as ever
penetrating me
what does it see?

----

does it see through me to all of my allegiances
does it know that i made friends outside the wall
or does it see past all that
that i intended all along
to do them wrong

but you're telling me you see them in the basement
and you're showing me they're fighting even now
and i realise what is down there
i realise what i've done
and i am frozen
they have won

----

…i left a child
and i came back a child
