Death of a Champion


Achilles was a champion 

In WWE

Along with the bruises,

Came fame and money

 

He became cocky because

He could not mistake

Only he knew the secret

Of how he could break

 

A punch to the ribs

And he'd be fine

But a flick to the heel, 

The bloodiest crime

 

And so he stood

On fragile fame

Not knowing that today

His downfall came

 

He slipped his secret

When he fell in love

But the girl just seduced him,

Vengance thereof

 

Her brother was defeated

But not her betrothed:

Paris of Troy,

Now information enclothed

 

When Achilles and he

Stepped into the ring,

Paris flipped Achilles,

And his foot took a ping

 

And that's the story

On how Achilles got pinned

Death of a Champion,

Like it was destined
