Litha from Dark Rainbow by Root Zero

You make me feel like home
You make me feel I'm held
But this feels so at odds
With the violence, that surrounds

You say
What's life without death or sacrifice?
Rebirth without purge?
Is it worth it, to escape the outside world?

Never felt so loved and revered as I am now
But how long will it last,
Before the queen loses her crown?

When the seasons change,
Will I still preside over all?
Welcomed and in control…
Or will I receive the honour of sacrifice,
Should I become too bold?

The winter quart of life
My debts to be repaid
No qualms taking those lives,
Which would not willingly be given,
So why should I be spared
After making this decision?

Why was I brought here, why was I spared?
Led by the piper, the mind manipulator,
Just how far did your machinations go?
Emotions just a show
A facade of empathy

Never felt so loved and revered as I am now
But how long will it last
Before the queen loses her crown?

It seems that all is well
For those who want to play along,
Who know what's to pass
And can face it with a song

But can we truly know the price that's paid?
Until every last nerve is frayed
Only a fool would look death in the face,
Or trifle with life completely unfazed
