Black Fur, Pure Heart





Born in the depths of space
Only one friend; never apart
But fate claimed a golden face
And left him with a broken heart

Captured, taken, sealed away
A broken soul, a deadened will
Forbidden to see the light of day
If not by chance, he'd be there still

Released by evil, his mind unclear
By then, half a century had passed
Yearning for the one he held dear
Upon his thoughts, revenge was cast

Dashing through the dark of night
Memories blurred, heart icy-cold
Against the world, he would fight
To fill the emptiness in his soul

A streak of blue, bold green eyes
Destiny had thrown a few more curves
A chance encounter, under night skies
Two hedgehogs met, with tense nerves

Time passed quickly; a new ally came around
The battle moved upwards; tension built more
The search continued; Chaos Emeralds were found
The power kept building inside the core

Those pesky others came along
The blue hedgehog faker and his friends
But by now, it wouldn't be long
Before they all would meet their ends

A final battle, to decide the fate
Of the planet floating quietly below
He might be beaten, but they were too late
The despised Earth was about to go...

But an innocent girl, with a begging plea
Made him realize something wasn't right
She'd wanted Earth to be free
Of pain and sadness; that was her fight

The once agonized hedgehog ran to their aid
His true mission now known
His hatred and vengeance began to fade
He fought until the final blow was thrown

But something was wrong; ARK continued to fall
This was the last part of the professor's dark plan
Red eyes looked into green, they answered the call
In Super form, to the FinalHazard, they ran

Project: Shadow reared its head
A giant lizard was the form
The planet Earth was as good as dead
From the skies, ARK was being torn

But desperate times bring on great power
The two hedgehogs battled against fate
The soon-to-be end? Earth's last hour?
But defying the odds, they weren't too late

A shout, a blast, the world was saved
ARK was put back in its proper place
The golden hedgehog watched his friend fall away
Being sucked down, into the darkness of space

But now he is back, and rightfully so
In the world in which he has a part
Once evil, now good, a true hero
With black fur, but with a pure heart
