Footsteps

Echoes of a life soon to be torn away

The reality will be lost

A bullet shall shatter a life

Into a thousand pieces

The pieces may be picked up

The life may be rebuilt

The form of a hero will evade death

To go on for a greater cause

Life

Once again

The hero will be betrayed

Once again

Lives will be lost

Once again

Danger will ensue

Once again

Once again

Once again

His name will be spoken with respect

On the lips and hearts of everyone

He is a legend

A rider on the stallion of power

His name is known to all

Feared by many

And loved by little

His name is Alex Rider

And he is the hero of heroes
