A pawn

I am just a pawn in his game

I am just a plan in his fame

He controls me, and I follow,

And as I do, the hole in my chest becomes hollow

Cruel, unspeakable things I do,

Maim, kill, torture,

All because I am a pawn

In a game, he rules

Innocent damsel found on the streets

"Be grateful, I saved you," he said

But he forgets that I am the killer

The line he walks on every day is a thread

He thinks he is untouchable, inviolable, he says,

But how when his doom sleeps in his bed.

A knife, that lies under my pillow

A sleight of hand and he'd be bleeding red

He trusts me, a big mistake,

How would he know that I was a wolf dressed as a black sheep,

His empire will crumble to dust,

And only then will he be in the ground, 6 feet deep

I will stab him in the back

While looking right in his eyes,

The betrayal to shine bright 

A smile on my face, manic as he cries

He thinks I am a pawn in his game, 

Just a plan in his fame,

Because this world is a stage

Hold the applause and sit back for the finale
