Titans
By Rowan
Tyrannical giants ancient times arose,
spawn of love threats did pose.
Devoured children, salvation for one,
born of thunder, the Titan's
son.
Struggle for divine power soon lost,
war of idols
over creation fought.
Despair of mortals tremble in fear,
apocalyptic
warnings of the end near.
Catastrophic nature and demonic fright,
raining fire in deep starless night.
Ravage Earth and glory of
all,
bring down the Titan's barricading wall.
Raise the
clouds and sound the winds,
darken the skies and hail descends.
Forest of fires, mountains fall,
crush the people, the good of
all.
Brutal battle of blood begins,
pray to the Gods,
worship their sins.
Anger desecrates Earth's design,
death for
all, chose which side.
Kill the harvest and drown the moon,
enrage the waves, the Siren's tune.
Crack of thunder and flash of
light,
Olympus ablaze, the flames white.
Cage thy fathers, keep
them barred,
to Tartarus imprisoned and charred.
Reigning champions
take the throne,
Bring back the sun, defeated by thy own.
