Last of the line of Eld this man was
Destined to find the Dark Tower because
Such was his ka, he was destined to see
The nexus of all that was ever to be

Bombardier's eyes, an unbreakable will
Plodding along over every last hill
Armed with his six-guns and a quest to see done
Ne'er would he stop 'til the battle was won

Friendship he found, and friendship he lost
But though he did grieve, he'd not question the cost
If ka was to will it, it would come to pass
And so ka had willed that he would be the last

He buried his sons and lost his daughter
At the end she refused to continue the slaughter
And walked through a doorway the Artist created
And left him, this man she had loved and yet hated

And so on his own did he scale the Dark Tower
The nexus of worlds and of infinite power
Only to find his journey start yet again
For atop the Dark Tower another quest would begin

Thee must admit great respect we must give
For this man who was dead yet continued to live
Perseverance was found by willpower alone
Say true, a man stronger will never be known
