Inveracities

There was a lifetime before yours;
The past that is plagued with soft deceit
And in the end succeeded.

There is conquest in your dreams, son,
A selfish yearning,
Pride and greed.

So with my last and
Soiled breath, child,
I give you what you need.

I give you unmatched power
And spiritual hunger.

I give you unfathomable wealth
And dogged desire.

I give you knowing arrogance
And hidden grief.

I give you glorious victory
And everlasting war.

I give you complete supremacy
And persisting loneliness.

I give you ultimate success
And flourishing despair.

I give you every eternity
And in the end insanity.

But for the good of the world,
You'll fall.
