Ode to Samson

A flashy thief who was a showboat

A womanizer as well

But there was more to Samson than meets the eye

And a past he'd rather not tell

He was a hero in Karg's eyes

And a nuisance to Diltzweild

But Samson believed he himself was tainted

After his village felled

Samson wasn't always a thief

He had a family he loved dear

But Diltzweild came and took all away

And killed almost everyone near

Samson and his family escaped

But the rest of the village was dead

Diltzweild was still on their heels

And for a while they fled

But Samson couldn't hold back his anger

His whole village had been lost

He desperately wanted revenge

And he didn't care what was the cost

So, he left his wife and daughter

And threw away his away his old life

He even changed his name

All because his heart was filled with strife

He formed a group of thieves

And learned how to shoot guns

But he never truly forgot his family

Even after many suns

One day he heard his daughter was in danger

He met Karg soon after

Eventually, he reunited with Lilia

The daughter from his life's precious chapter

Even though Lilia was alright

Sadly, his wife was dead

It was a fact that tore a hole in his heart

And stung in the back of his head

Then, Lilia was recaptured

Soon, Samson was on the chase

She was needed for a ritual

And had to be rescued with great haste

Samson soon faced the ruler of Diltzweid

The one he hated dear

To keep Samson from shooting

He kept Lilia near

Samson knew what he had to do

To get revenge no matter the cost

But there was a good chance

That his daughter would be lost

Lilia was prepared to die

She wanted to do what's best from the start

But even as he put his hand on the trigger

He paused due to the love in his heart

But it was soon too late

As Samson was shot in the back

He saw Lilia one last time

As his vision faded to black

Karg found him a short time later

As Samson was at death's door

His heart heavy with regret

As he died sitting on the floor

Revenge is a sad thing

It consumes one with hate and strife

One would do things one would later regret

At the end of one's life

Now that the world has been saved

And violence temporarily at cease

Lilia is now out of danger

And Samson may find his peace
