Ruler's Blessing
The trees grew for air
The sun rose for light
The stars guide the night
For her blessing is fire
For her rivers provided waters
Her darkness provided light
Her voice provided insight
For her blessing is Ice
The land made them settle
The gold made them greedy
Their minds turned to war
For her blessing is metal
Our hearts started to loathe
What we thought was a pristine dove
Had corrupted us with hate
And turned into a toxic love
For we sought her official blessing
But they're judgment of you and me
We opened our eyes to nature
Her official blessing was never-ending peace
