Hades

Sprawling on top of a hill dark with the night
Nine o'clock
chimes go on with the ticking clock
sitting on the world
a hand pulling strings
writing laws of mankind
Ten o'clock
chimes go on with the ticking clock
sitting on the world
the eyes will freeze
putting away all misdeeds
Eleven o'clock
chimes go on with the ticking clock
sitting on the world
a mind will contemplate
the different silks to debate
Twelve o'clock
midnight strikes and with it fright and fight
chains of law broken
criminals condemned by criminals
and then the silk curtain falls
