Who dares to enter my domain!
Awaken me by clarion my name!
Methinks yet another foolish noble knight!
That my traps will destroy with cold delight!
His vibrant voice becomes slightly louder,
He must be good he must possess a unique gift.
He's navigated my cruel Labyrinth Of Lost Souls,
Let's see how he fares with The Graveyard Shift.
So he's deftly cut them all to pieces and ribbons,
For my hobgoblin undead scream and wail no more.
A most skilled one is he but a mere trifling matter,
For in my Grotto Of Doom trap awaits surprises galore.
Ah! He's entered for I can hear them hiss and scurry,
Alas! All who have gallantly set foot have never leaved.
There dwells my pet giant spiders bloated with hunger and venom,
Every drop of noble blood from his body will be squeezed.
By Hades!
He's slain them all and calls for me!
And ventures on!
What is this knight's name who is he?
My Pit Of Soul Suckers will surely ensure his final demise,
They will literally and ever so slowly suck his essence from him.
I begrudgingly admit he has done rather exceedingly well,
But the evil Pit has a price to pay to become it's first fatal victim.
What endless trickery and skullduggery is this!
He now boldly journeys beyond The Pit!
This relentless knight constantly calling my name,
He can't be stopped he just won't quit!
But still I wickedly possess security abounds,
Two lines of defence before confronting Magnificent Me!
My captive starved Dragon who shares my name,
Then my vast hobgoblin army from which he'll flee!
Ah! Hark! The mighty merciless roar of my Dragon!
He's entered it's cruel Chamber Of Flaming Death.
He'll be burnt to a frazzle simply roasted alive,
This treasure seeking knight by it's fiery breath!
What is happening?
No fiery roar!
No smell of burning!
No screams galore!
Impossible! He's freed my Dragon!
And the only screams I hear so hideous and loud.
He rides upon it guiding it's endless searing flame,
My now ashen hobgoblin army of once I was proud.
And now they confront me,
And I see he is no knight.
Dressed in a hooded cloak,
His eyes so clear and bright.
He speaks so eloquently...
Keep your vast treasure keep your shiny baubles,
Choke on your silver and choke on your gold I do decry
You're a King now in a lifeless cold kingdom,
A King in name and alone, a King to grow old then die.
Your lesson learnt with oceans of time on which to reflect,
I came to save this Dragon from you and your stained vermin.
An honourable creature who saved my life when I was young,
Now I'm a man a wizard an enchanter and my name is Merlin!
