Fallen Giant

I cannot slumber, cannot sleep,

Fear's within me, lurking deep.

Whispers, I've heard on the breeze.

Of a monster whom we cannot flee.

Mortal, but with a sharpened sword.

This monster to us rides towards.

Slays without reason, no mercy.

And still he rides, now towards me.

So from my slumber I awake.

Around me sands of time they shake.

The monster mounted, little man,

Leaves trails of blood upon the sands.

I cannot flee, so I must fight.

In which the monster takes delight.

A different slumber awaits me,

And thus I'm doomed to history.

The blade bites in, it cuts in deep.

And thus I fall, a broken heap.

Within the sand, I'm buried under.

Pierced by blade and torn asunder.
