Shadow of the Dragon

A foul winged terror under sun,

Greater foe at night.

Under its wings we tremble,

This foe we cannot fight.

The dragon lets out mighty roars,

It's like laughter to our ears.

Searing lands with fire,

Delighting in our fears.

Some people run up to the hills,

Others hide below.

But the dragon always finds us,

Wherever we may go.

Eyes are stained by tears,

To be washed away by heat.

So many taken by the fire,

The Maker they're to meet.

And then it turns and flies away,

Its wings carry its form.

Leaving raging fires,

And people long forlorn.

The dragons come, the dragons go,

The cycle, it goes on.

Always fated to return,

Never truly gone.
