Winged Serpents of Fire - Act 1

The day finally came For when we were young we read Winged serpents of fire To our planet earth brought dread It was on a winters night When i was awoken in my sleep No animal could make that roar As my skin started to creep I looked towards my window A shadow sped past so fast Next there was an orange glow Followed by, blast after blast Fireballs rained down Destroying everything it hit For from their mouths they spewed Like napalm, fire spit For upon the dragons rode Scant maiden warriors For now my eyes believed These winged serpent terriers For with them came hooded beings Who held up lights of blue Servants to these dragons The ones that they lured to you When i look to the darkened skies Every so often there are balls of flames These winged serpents of fire Are bringing down our planes Through the smoke i view the horizon Above the mountains, all i see is an orange glow You can hear their wings in the shadows Whilst they gruesomely bestow I can hear my father and mother Crying in their room My mother in frantic screams Declaring this is our tomb No sooner had they arrived They disappeared into the black These winged serpents of fire No doubt they will soon be back http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/fantasy-14.php
