Every Evil...

Every evil has an army
While every hero stands alone
The devils are infinitely smarmy
While decency takes another tone

Every evil has a predecessor
While each hero's tale is unique
The irreverence of each predator 
Can swallow whole the meek
Devouring nearly every ancestor
That lacks a strong mystique

Every evil has a ruler
While a hero seeks no throne
Evil is decorated by the jeweler
A hero's prize is tempered bone

Every evil is unfulfilled
Needing more than there exists
They destroy and never build
With hands of strangled fists

Every evil is of desperation
Devoid of all content
Comprised of pure negation
Ending only in lament

The hero's life is rigorous
One long struggle to survive
Perpetually vigorous
and perpetually alive

Every evil dies in vain
With curses toward the skies

While some hero will remain
To face the next emprise
