A/N

Truth be told, this was originally adapted from the poem Itsy Bitsy Spider. That being said, I admittedly stretched a few issues to make the poem work. Guess that's poetic licence for you.

Edit (2009/01/25): Corrected "Crawler" to "Corpser" and fixed the spelling of "Lambent."

Corpser

A large and monstrous creature,

Climbed up the Locusts' hole.

No rocks or mines could stop the beast,

It focussed on its goal.

…

Bullets, mortars, RPGs,

The Corpser did not care.

It gazed upon the surface world,

Its might beyond compare.

…

Gears and Ravens, Centaurs mighty,

It prevailed against its foes.

To Locust, a beacon of destruction,

To humans, one of woe.

…

Yet judgment came down from the skies,

Namely Dawn's bright Hammer.

It felt the pain of mankind's fury,

Knew something was the matter.

…

The Corpser screeched, the Corpser cried,

Yet Dawn it could not best.

It fell back down the Locust hole,

Into Sera's dark depths.

…

Down through the earth, down through the Hollow,

Its fall would never cease

Until it reached the golden liquid,

From momentum released.

…

The Lambancy began its course,

The Corpser stood revived.

More powerful than ever before,

It looked back to the skies.

…

Destruction was its only purpose,

And it would not refrain.

So now the mighty Lambent Corpser,

Climbed up the hole again.
