answering the tyrant

[fledgist]

 the thing's the same once you've told the story

putting the planet into normal mode

you've won power but never truly glory

 

you know it all is just transitory

each of us goes a short way on the road

the thing's the same once you've told the story

 

whether the ending's peaceful or gory

each must arrive at the one sole abode

you've won power but never truly glory

 

of no import whether whig or tory

for you the process is in no way slowed

the thing's the same once you've told the story

 

only message here's memento mori

the human network down to one last node

you've won power but never truly glory

 

answer now in words that are not hoary

explaining how you cracked the final code

the things the same once you've told the story

you've won power but never truly glory
