The Dragon Riders Saga V
The Dragon Riders Saga V
So many heroes had died that fated day, never again to fight
The only one to survive was standing over the Mage that night
Both had stood alone upon that once fabled battleground
The death screams of the dying Mage now the only sound
He let out one last deafening scream a crying evil lust
And everything that has been evil vanished into the dust
With his last ounce of strength the rider lifted his magic blade
Proclaiming the triumph of light over the darkness that evil had made
They had dodged so many death blows, neither gaining the upper hand
But this day light prevailed and defeated all that evil had planned
Evil had grown strong in time, and all too soon it had gotten loose
Poisoned the Earth and letting Hell's demons slip their noose
Battles fought and raged on ever front on the land and in the skies
Blood had been spilled without measure amid deaths horrid battle cries
The demons had found a master of magic and the darkness held them tight
They had feasted off of death and misery with unworldly delight
But the spirit of man dipped in courage and gallantry
Risked all, willing to die for what they believed, liberty
The hero they had chosen was a Dragon rider and a prince
His blood lines deep and noble, none like him before or since
Equipped with armor, sword, and shield he fought the demons well
And when they stood face to face came the evil's death knell
Over the centuries this heroic tale had gotten lost somehow
All they had sacrificed forgotten, well until now
So remember history can repeat itself should that knowledge we spurn
And then the evil will yet get another chance to return
