The beast is slain,
His life force drained.
His evil dead,
Where was his head.

The hero stands,
Blood on his hands,
And laughs and smiles,
Looking down the miles.

"What beast can claim
My life, my fame?"
The hero shows might,
But against his own light!

He becomes darkened by power,
Now in his greatest hour.
His armour gleams in the morning sun,
It seems it's over, he has won.

But then he feels a strange remorse.
Has he taken his only recourse?
He suddenly falls to his knees in tears,
Hating that he has become his fears.

What is life without poetry and adventure?

Man that is some powerful stuff there.

Cold hands means a warm heart
