The Whispering Wings

Above the brick-layered buildings
And affront the crimson sky
Is a dragon with his breath a wielding
A battle with Hellboy in which he'll die

'Braam', 'Krunch', 'Boom' and 'Wup'
are noisies from the fiery battle
though quiet is the whispers
beneath the dragon's wing-shadows

Hellboy takes a dagger 
across the lizards skin
and out of the sky she falls
but this will not be his win

She takes the form of the blood queen
and rips out Hellboy's heart, to Hell he shall travel

'Braam', 'Krunch', 'Boom' and 'Wup' - just like a comic book! Is it the Hellboy of movies or comics, seemed like that, if not I apologize. Blood queen! Excellent supernatural imagery! Thanks - Marshall.
