Scorpion King


At first you freeze...
There is beauty to the slow scuttle
A sound so subtle

Hypnotic, you begin to move
Matching rhythm for rhythm

A slow dance...romance?


And then...ATTACK!


Stunned, you step back and stare


As the heat seeps through


You stare as your limbs lie limp


You stare as you crumble to the ground


You stare as your heart begins to slow


You stare until your eyes are the last of the organs


Processing finality.


Scorpion King.


He knows.


His power.

Thanks babe. Sometimes,though,even the best of players would not able to pull such a stunt. It's almost as though it is the uncalculated attacks that are the worst, the most detrimental, the most crushing. Those have been my experiences, anyway.
