The sleeping giant stirs anon,

no kiss to thank save that of death

so he - then feeling set upon -

would set his sights to gaining breath

enough to rise and conquer clean

the world and what remains unseen.

His hunger comes by man's design,

a need to be as one divine.

His make was also that of charm

so those who would be guided would

believe when he did swear the good

to be his aim and thus disarm

them all; until such time as can

be found a warmer flame to fan.
