The Antichrist

Glorified, loved by everyone
I brought nothing but evil and destruction,
But was called a savior, the messiah
I was crowned, followed, revered
They would even die for my cause,
Never knowing the consequences of their actions,
I marched triumphantly into battle
Relying on the support of my father
Not knowing that he would leave me.
My followers didn't, blindly toiling.
They had no fear with me.
In the end they were lost, as was I
No one to spread my story, my achievements, my work
Broken and shattered we fell.
All in my name, son of my father.
The kingdom has been closed
Billions thrown down with me
Their failure haunts me for eternity
You are not my children
I died for myself.
