(The King's Roads) I went into the mirror The place beyond all sanity To the paths built long ago The King's Road's, some say The Raven King that is His kingdom is mighty From upon the backs of a sleeping England Did he build his tower The center of which must be The Whispering Court of him and his fey-faeries In some places overgrown Deserted and now hushed, as it were No fey, no servants And certainly no men but he alone What are they planning? And to what is this silence owed? Twilight shimmers ambient Paths cross with no wind-rose Anywhere leads onward And so on and on and on and on it goes Forward, down, over, under What should have been a mile Ends less than in a minute Who built these bridges? And to whom is the title "Architect" giv'n? Something like Shar rattles my nerves Kings and Queens of olde, desiring me to serve Visions of the wilde, whispers in those halls Flashing along the trails, as yester-year beholds (The Dark Tower) Shadow spirits assail The fey don't like to haunt These are what's left of Uskglass' Favored Souls What feast could they crave Lest they all be Wraiths? To dine upon my bless'd blades? Tis all that they shall taste Puffs of blackened fog disperse Cold and damp as the earth The tower stands before me Of height and length and girth No door, no window, and as dull as a Ghast's eye How could this honor befall me? Is this real, and would my host be nigh? The door appears, like a gaping maw The very same expression Vampyres make oe'r their thralls Whispers reach my Elven ears But tidings to no being I know What woes snuff out the light! I'm addled in the dark (The Court) And though the whispers reach my ears I cannot speak the tongue For terrible and menacing Are the speech of every one I am no Favored Soul but know why they were lost My sanctity and sanity, in every word accost The court is now in session And speaks of dire transaction The lives of men everywhere Are now its next obsession The feelings such a burden, its weight is misery Words of lies and lunacy inflict my very being Pulsing, pounding, to hope against submission I conjure up a Door, But alas! No recollection The whispers are growing coarse Give rise to voices and a cry A gurgling, a spattering, it sputters, and it dies The rattle of the breath, seems but an arm's breadth To face the mirror of his affliction I'll come into mine own (The King) Where does darkness abide But in the King's home? Where would you have us, Lord But groveling 'neath your throne? Would you look upon your kingdom And see that it would last? Who is like the one once called John Uskglass?
