Am I supposed to repent,
For a curse not my own?
Am I supposed to fear,
The signs that have flown?
--&--
If the world was pure,
My job would end.
I hunt all demons,
Even who might be a friend.
--&--A demon,
Yes I am known.
But, the title doesn't say,
What I could have done to you, today.
--&--
With fangs the length of an arm,
Pearly whites that cause extreme harm.
I am vicious to all my kin,
Though, they always try to win.
--&--
Misery is my companion,
Loneliness comes in time.
Any mortal life, I hereby abandon.
My heart as hard as a dime.
--&--
Born as a mortal;
Taken in my teens,
It wasn't very cordial,
By any sort of means.
--&--
Veins stretch designs,
Woven into my wings.
A leather strip winds,
To cover the bloody thin strings.
--&--
Ivory talons,
Rip stripes upon foes.
Splashed in red so often;
But washed away in droves.
--&--
Scales harder than diamonds,
All the color of ebonite.
Horns to slay the titans,
Curve from my skull, pearly white.
--&--
Flames bellow from my lips,
Fire summoned from the depths.
I carry the secret of the flame,
Inside me without a name.
--&--
A potion stole my humanity,
And gave me a body.
A corrupt and deadly form,
That towers over the naughty.
--&--
I was turned into a dragon,
Over a million years I've seen.
Demons I have killed,
A question asked to any who were keen.
--&--
Death with follow til I find who gave the draught,
The creator of my blight.
Many said it was for naught,
But this will continue, unless I lay down for the last night.
