The sounds of thunder rattled the night air,
Heavy hooves shuddered the ground,
The grip of steel as the mighty danced,
And his eyes bore the pain,
The endurance of an eternity,
As the tears of blood flowed the rivers red,

Swift movement, slashed the skin,
The smell of death as it stroke down,
Could never be washed from his hands,

Regrets if any were lost to the cries,
The heart that he knew so well,
Was a fading petal, frozen and shattered,

Standing his grounds, thy called him legend,
Though they never knew, the burden he carried,

For a simple man he gathered his beliefs,
Followers, worshipers danced to his command,

Only to look back to see the blood
Drain down his chin,

He closed his eyes once again...
