My Son the Assassin
Long ago there was a lad for hire
Even though he had his profession,
he was quite in dire straits
So the boy needs to find a cure
To save his Father from a disease’s lure.
So the lad worked day and night
But as his father got worse, he lost his might
As the lad lost the future in sight,
His father died not going without a fight.
As the lad cried and shrieked in loss He found an elixir of immortally covered in moss
As he gave the corpse his drink He became one of the living dead covered in bile
The lad was enraged by all his bad luck
Until he went insane and gave no single care
He killed the thing that was once his father
The lad became an assassin who was paid for slaughtering steel
The lad changed his name to Axel And the Warrior of Doom had no mainstream appeal
