The son\u2019s body was shaking with Anger <\/span>
\nWhile he was running towards his father, Terrible Ivan <\/span>
\nHis feelings for him were Dead <\/span>
\nBut he still hoped to find in his father\u2019s eyes some Regret <\/span>
\nIn the wide dark palace, all you could hear was his Screams <\/span>
\nAll he was sensing was Despair\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was festering, the Despair <\/span>
\nAnd nothing could calm his Anger <\/span>
\nOnce he remembered his wife\u2019s Screams <\/span>
\nCaused by his father, Terrible Ivan <\/span>
\nHe just wanted his father to understand and Regret <\/span>
\nWhat his hand did to his son\u2019s wife, her infant was Dead<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The father was enthroned on a chair, his stare cold and Dead <\/span>
\nThe somber war made his heart feel no Despair <\/span>
\nKilling and revenge wouldn\u2019t lead to Regret <\/span>
\nWhen he saw his son\u2019s wife, all he could feel was Anger <\/span>
\nHow dare she disrespect the Terrible Ivan? <\/span>
\nHis satisfaction only grew when he heard her Screams\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Louder and louder resounded the son\u2019s Screams <\/span>
\nHis future child and heir was Dead <\/span>
\nSeething, He reached for his father, Terrible Ivan <\/span>
\nHis voice was quivering with Despair <\/span>
\nHis blood was boiling with Anger <\/span>
\nAll he wanted was to make his father Regret\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suddenly, the father was struck by Regret <\/span>
\nAfter his soul heard his son\u2019s Screams <\/span>
\nAnd he couldn\u2019t feel any Anger <\/span>
\nAs he held his son in his arms, Dead <\/span>
\nHe tried to save him and stop the river of blood with Despair <\/span>
\nHe couldn\u2019t realize what he just did, Terrible Ivan\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dread was sculpted on his face, Terrible Ivan <\/span>
\nThe monster finally learned Regret <\/span>
\nHis heart sunk low in Despair <\/span>
\nAnd now, He couldn\u2019t hear his son\u2019s Screams <\/span>
\nIt was the end, the boy was Dead <\/span>
\nAnd so was Anger\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadness and despair never left the Terrible Ivan <\/span>
\nHe, who once was filled with Anger could only feel regret <\/span>
\nAnd his Screams roamed the palace, his son was dead\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
