Eclipsed
By SMYGO4EVA
Black steel, iron will
Machines in demonic encasement
Seen and being seen
The weak would perish
In the Great War, hellions would play
Saviors would be cast down
Tragedies bit by pathetic bit
A warrior of leadership
A tyrant of deceit
Hunger for lifeblood
Wishes of a better day
Undershell of armor broken
The chosen one of Primus
The demonized one of Unicron
Once blood brothers
Now gods of an eternally corrupted empire
Brute savagery amongst peace
The citizens now low as dirt
Never seen as of great importance
All realms now for conquest
All worlds eager for salvation
Soldiers sent to their deaths
Gunmetal gray, form fading and rusting
Never safe from death, from offline
Plagues now a silent slumber
A blood feud upon the machines
The kingdom never pure or holy
It was metal, grey, tainted
Unreal and of machinery
Of robotic organisms
One rising to be a god
One to light the darkest hour
Now a fallen kingdom
To all that were of good
And those seeking destruction
Now amongst the humans
Earth – their new battlefield
Cybertron – a dead planet
Optimus Prime
Megatron
Ruin, ruin, ruin all around
To extinguish the spark of the other
Their names are close to the fates
They both have caused
Both eclipsed by being blood brothers
