They called me the savior of the poor.
The hero of the story.
The king of the world.
Until they turned on me.
Told lies about me.
Made me do horrible things.
Kill.
I am just a lonely traveler,
Treading upon the path,
I tried so hard to destroy.
I am the forgotten king,
Never to return to my kingdom.
