LoR Lyricists #16 - Switch It, Flip It, And Reverse It
What's better than one LoR poem? Two! This week RIWAN's poets wrote poems that do double-duty, making sense when read in either direction!
Now I am free - recorded by Hackakat
now I am free
for I have killed thee,
Rhaast, the blood drinker.
I am the reaper,
this was always my destiny.
the darkness is now mine to command
and it shall soon bathe the lands
we will seek out their blood
the Darkin will end humankind
so come, friends of mine
we will purge them from this world.
the Darkin shall return
behind lock and key
you could not keep me
this is MY body
you and your kind will burn
-HackaKatGray Solider, Blue Solider - recorded by solitaryplace
My blood is burning
the fires can't be put out
they're inside, they can't be escaped
my blazing heart compels me forward
stumbling on the brink of death
the enemy is here
this is my purpose
-solitaryplaceMemers - recorded by snowfire
Memers
Like
Thinking
Aggro players are
Brainless
-ItchIn a way only lovers can - recorded by snowfire
In a way only lovers can
The moon
Dances with
The sun
They share a kiss
At dawn
They laugh
At dusk
Even though their people are enemies
-snowfire
It’s too late for you - recorded by snowfire
It’s too late for you
Can you feel my steel?
I’m ever so close
But the shadows lie
I’m still so far away
Care to play?
Hear my silent steps
Quiver in your boots
Now cry, or I’ll make your blood fly
How you make me sigh
Don’t you know?
You think you walk your path alone?
Or are you aggrieved?
Don’t fear the dark perceived
I confess, you’re deceived
I am here, always near
Though you can’t see me
I will play my part
-snowfireNoxus Acts of War - recorded by IcarusPigeon
now, sir, a war is won
on lands so far away.
we marched to meet our sons
still bloodied from the fray.
I met a widowed ghost
remembering the past,
and boasting I could parse
"won't lovers revolt now?"
and thinking I could help
return whence we're allowed,
I bet on what portends
some means unto some end.
we're winning wars against
our enemies and friends.
now, sir, a war is won.
-IcarusPigeonThe metallic flash - recorded by snowfire
the metallic flash of red, a flippant smirk
as everything fades to black;
she saunters away
-INEEDATTENTION
Time passes - recorded by Hazy
Time passes for us all.
Except me.
People being crushed, destroyed by the war.
Swept by mysteries, no one could prevent.
I always wondered, if i did the correct act.
but at this point, i see no other options back
I froze time on its place
made made palaces, places to preserve
Nature stuck in their case
kinda like... a way to set memories to reserve
Will I prevent the fall?
Will I save my city, someday?
I have forgotten about it
The Remorse of a thousand names
