 Snow Dragons… part II "Dark Knight - The Dragon Slayer" A dark rider comes, cresting the ridge from the Westlands Clouds burning at his back, as if to announce a resurrection Sending the veiled shadow of his steed across the valley Murmurs spread on the wind as to this Dark knight's intention Through the valley he journeyed, rode proud and free Dusk lights revealing a face troubled from dreams long past A tortured soul, beyond enduring the cruelties of life A mind congealed, in search of some peace at last Battle hardened and weary, he carried his people's banner A people destroyed by a wandering hate, a renegade they said A dragon! Wounded, Its mind ravaged by all that men could inflict Came forth, a day of retribution, the day his people's land ran red He'd laid that demon to rest on that desolate, blood soaked plain No more to subsist unscathed! His family laid lifeless upon the earth Wounded and weary, filled with such rage he set out to conquer his pain Now seeks justice with the edge of his sword, a living death seeking rebirth Noble he was til this tragedy befell, lost only child and beloved wife A wanderer now, with a heart as black as the Demons he braved A man tormented, unable to quench a soul that revenge left parched Dragon Slayer now his craft, ever searching, naught afraid to wield his blade. part I "Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly." ~unknown [This message has been edited by EagleOne (edited 06-06-2001).] |
