In the beginning, monsters ruled the world,
and then the gods sent a savior, their more valuable pearl
called Atem, the Pharaoh, ruler of man,
and as he ruled, peace spread throughout the land.
Many high priests challenged his power along the years,
announcing no glory, but shedding their tears.
This power was used by summoning creatures,
from dimensions beyond, with mythical features.
The Pharaoh was wise to seal them away,
for those who could not control them would desperately pay.
The shadows that bound these beings to power
were soon locked away by our most beautiful flower.
The Pharaoh hid that magic away,
to never be used again, not knowing one day
a boy named Yugi would unlock the secret,
not knowing the damage that he would inflict.
His burden was his friend, the Pharaoh, Yami, to address,
retrieving his memories past to save the world, less
the light of the Earth should be swallowed by darkness.
So unto this day we share a bond with humans, creatures, and forces beyond,
to honor our Pharaoh, our Re, whose time had dawned.
