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
