How the world failed
He watched the world go by
In agony and angst
All he ever knew
Disappearing to be forever gone
It had started merely days ago
A negotiate for peace
For love and warmth
And everyone had liked the idea
But somewhere in the shadows
A beast with blackened heart lurked
Watching in narrow
And hating what was on
The world lived on happy in joy
No problems in sight
But somewhere eyes watched
Waiting to strike
The sun was warm and mild
As soothing the people in its land
As a last service to its loved ones
For he knew
Suddenly a storm darker than anything shot up
Everyone turning their heads
Freezing as they saw
Eyes of malice gaze down
A burst of flames
Screams of pain from the nearest ones
For those in the blasts way
Were no longer there to scream
Panic out broke
People running everywhere
Children screaming
Parents desperately looking
The pharaoh had risen from his throne
Running to the balcony
His gasp was absorbed
The turmoil and panic all too high
In his state of terror-struck bewilderment
He turned his gaze upwards
To meet malice satisfaction
In a pair of deep yellow eyes
His anger rose to hatred
Rage in his growl
As a sneer appeared
Letting out a scornful laughter
The pharaoh took to his horse
A proud white beast
Then rode out to meet the malice creature
With all his might
A fight there was
A fight so devastating
The pharaoh could not protect his world
And fight the same time
A last forceful blast was thrown
They met, a swirl of golden and black
And the creature screamed
As it was torn apart never to come back
The pharaoh once so proud had won
The fight had taken his power
And as the storm vanished
He looked around
The sky was no longer blue
A grey shade it was
And the people was gone
Along with everything familiar
The heart of the pharaoh stopped
Tears warm and salty
Rolled down his cheeks
As he got down on his knees and screamed
A wind blew
Stirring up the sand
The world was empty
Never to be filled again
Now to the disclaiming; I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh!. Nor do I own Loreena McKennitt's "The highwayman" from which this was inspired (from).
