Eyes of fire burning bright
Coat as dark as night
Fiery dust rising high
Holding on, for the end is nigh
Onyx hooves kick the sky
I pray I do not die
Break his spirit I must try
So that I may give a final sigh
Else I am sent into the sky
His spirit in tact,
My pride taking the fall
Of it all
To tame this beast by the day
Where others have failed,
And said there is no way.
