The Hunted

As the light falls,
A coming thy hast seen

Watching thy see
The warring men
Come to bring
Thy life to end

Knights they come
Swords shown brightly
To cast upon them
A dragons ruby gleem

Thy blood they seek
Thy heart to eat
Thy head trophy
For their king

Ages thy hast lived this tale
Fed upon their bones
Now tis' time once again
To cast upon them thy
Wicked firey blaze

Why hast they come for thee ?
No innocents doest thy slay
Upon no sacrafice doest thy feed
'tis only those whit blackened hearts
For which this dragon preys

So they hunt
For necessity not
But out of fear
Prides betrayal

Approaching,
Passing
Their own graves unseen
Blinded
By thoughts of victory

One last look upon thy child
Asleep
Knowing not that danger nears
Nor that her mothers fate
Her father shall redeem

The hunters grow near
Let thy heart turn cold
Let thy wisdom guide thy way

Thy knows
The time hast come
for the hunters
To become
The hunted
