The Champion's Fated Fall
It was terrible, and then it stopped;
A thunderous downpour of rain.
As though a hammer had been dropped,
The sky lashed out in pain!
A thunderous downpour of rain,
A bolt of lightning pierced the air,
The sky lashed out in pain
And left the warlord lying there.
A bolt of lightning pierced the air.
It dealt our champion sudden death
And left the warlord lying there
Gasping for his final breath.
It dealt our champion sudden death
As though a hammer had been dropped.
Gasping for his final breath;
It was terrible. And then it stopped!
