"Flash of silver, the sent of prey-

Dappled sunlight, the goddess rays-

Strong he grew in the gentle waves-

But still he was discontent.'


"Long he spent, atop the waves-

The wind a sirens call...-

Promises, promises, the moons whispered to him-

All he had to do was take her in.'


"But the serpent is never alone,-

How could he depart the tangle, to the unknown-

He whispered and prodded, till others came undone-

He would lead them away, to be transformed.'


"As the rains came down, he lead them away-

To pale beaches, where they slithered and heaved-

Though rain drenched them, they struggled to breath-

So some fled back to the seas.'


"As the skies turned, and the moons took hold-

For all who stayed, they were lifted away-

Caught in their dreams, their pains seemed so far away-

The sun rose to faces anew.'


"As dawn broke, so the tangle awoke-

To find their fates skewed-

With tails, and teeth, they lashed out at him-

For it was him they blamed for their misery.'


"But hunger quenched their need for vengeance-

So from down, to dusk they consumed-

And when the dreams took hold, they were the only ones that moved-

And in sleep new swiftness came to them.'


"On mighty legs, their scavenging grew-

To the sent of prey, the found anew-

Bellies stretched tight, their shame bloomed, to the one they left behind-

In blood drenched jaws, they brought their offering.'


"As the moons rose, so did they come together-

A collective mind once again-

With a touch of the goddess light, they learned-

Together came the knowledge of the true swiftness they had earned-

How to raise their wings in flight."
This is a song I wrote, I was going for the history threw song type of thing. It's a tail of how dragons split from the serpents of the sea.
