A Beholder
Out. Out cold. With only the ashes left to smolder
 Once laid there, a man, now all that’s left. A beholder.
 A figure, a form. Of what used to be, what was
 A man, old some say, but young is what he was
 No matter here. All that's important is that he ate
 He ate and it turned into fire, fire that never flickered straight
 Fire like none other. The flames, they run through his body 
 searching for the food they live for, for that food was his shawty
 And when they find it, the wood. 
 It gets eaten alive with no choice but to sit there for good
 Sit and wait until the flames have gone down
 But when they go down, so does he into the unforgiving ground 
 The man. He turns from new to old
 Because the flames, they turn from heat to cold. 
 They turn from the red, burning warmth of there light
 And into the cold, dark cave of their dwindling ignite
 Because the fire, it’s out, out cold with only the ashes left to smolder
 But once laid there, a man. Now all that's left. A beholder.
