what makes them fit to be a king?
their origin: child of a Fallen son, the broken one
shattered glass, metal boxes and rusty nails
all occupy the hill They climbed;
this climb; a hill to kill
this is not the story of Isaac.
the Fallen son, with whom They share blood,
crashed down a lowly ranked soldier
after killing him there
should have been a crushing flood
but the soldier with black wings
and a lot of fight was reborn
he, of Thursday, who would take this Nephil
under his same broken wing
Nephil now child of three warriors
the black broken winged one
had faced a garrison
off of the love of one human man.
and in a way, he'd win.
he's small but he's got a lot of fight;
he's a pistol, ain't he?
and oh, how his Nephil seeks
to take after him
avenge him
the half angel half human finds the face
of the first god, Grandfather
who sneered at Them in His arrogance,
They would soon cradle
that Power and subsume it dry
They are not on this hill to kill now
Grandfather's sister,
soon after, Their forever companion
not struck with ancient celestial solitude
truly first of Their own name
for Their real heavenly father, Thursday's own
once gone, twice gone
taught Them love
They would grip tight and raise his busted heart
from the broken bodies in Their wake
and unlike any of Their fathers before
healed and let heal to Their core
