King and fate, in his stride.
In his soul, the courage lies,
In his eyes, the endless skies.

Strength within his every breath,
Pride that conquers fear of death.

Despair in the endless maze.

In his heart, the endless space.
Laius’s Fate
In Thebes’ high walls, where shadows lay,
Laius faces, a fate’s sway.
With eyes so stern, and spirit torn,
He faces destiny, forever worn.
Through whispers soft, and silent sighs,
In Laius’s soul, the fate lies.
With every step, his sorrow grows,
In every choice, his anguish shows.
Laius’s Tragedy
In final breath, his truth revealed,
Laius’s heart, forever healed.
With sorrow found, and spirit bright,
He faces darkness, with pure light.
Through battles long, and trials vast,
In Laius’s strength, they hold fast.
With every tear, and whispered word,
In Laius’s name, their hope is heard.
The Cursed King
In Theban halls, a king’s own fate,
Laius’s heart, a heavy weight.
With prophecy’s hand and doom’s decree,
In every tale, he seeks to flee.
The cursed king, of ancient lore,
In Sophocles’s tale, forevermore.
Through trials dark and shadows deep,
Laius’s spirit, we all keep.
The cursed king, so fierce and true,
In every heart, his legend grew.
In every tale of ancient lore,
Laius’s name, forevermore.
Through fate’s embrace and destiny’s touch,
Laius’s heart, a lesson much.
The cursed king’s guiding grace,
In every heart, he finds a place.
