A/N:
This is a poem based on the dark deal scene between Marik and Bakura, from the Battle City Arc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Milk and Honey, Blood and Gold
In the shadows
Two souls merge as one
In a deal so dark and sinister
Even the Pharaoh himself would shudder
Voices hushed
The boasting seeps down
Into the very core of their essence
Their souls, their being
Boiling with hot anger
Gold demands the shed blood,
The striking down of Good
And the Treasure of the Gods
Milk, leering in the gloom
Returns the hatred and wanting
Longing, lust for destruction
And the demise of all who fight
Same blood, same hate
The wish is exact
But trust or betrayal
Must be weighed
A bargain, a trade
A deal in darkness agreed
Signed in lust
Signed in blood
The dark red life flowing
Spilling forth onto the ground as tribute
The white silk stained crimson
Wickedness begets wickedness
Evil for evil
Blood for blood
The one who longs for power is pleased
As the one who shall receive what is due
A deal made in darkness
A bond made in sin
The shadows shall spread
And the Pharaoh shall die
Out from the shadows, Honey
Glowing with sweet innocence and light
Carries the bloodstained silk to the sea
The souls of Good take heed
Feigned innocence and beauty
The hearts of Good shall never see
The darkness of this
For the deal was made
Death to the light
Death to the Pharaoh
Destruction to the world
The dark power attained
See now, oh world,
Those who shall bring demise
