a Villainelle, Part 3 (Bane)
“He will shatter kings in the day of his wrath.” – Psalm 110:5
Your punishment must be more severe.
Until I put on the mask no one cared
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
It comes later, the time for rising fear
I’ll feed Gotham’s people hope to despair
Your punishment must be more severe.
I am Gotham’s reckoning, it is clear
An end to borrowed time and corrupt heirs
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
They belong to me, the shadows here
Blinding to me is the daylight air
Your punishment must be more severe.
When Gotham is ashes, your city dear
You have my permission to die there
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
The fire rises, a wall sheer
Victory defeated you, left you bare
Your punishment must be more severe.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
