The Best Is Yet To Come

I wrote this while on the Tanith Camping Trip, Sat in a Hamok on my own I decided to write something that would go along with the track of the same name from Metal Gear Solid 1’s soundtrack

Imagine if you will; a team of soldiers going in and getting ambushed, now the hunters chase down the last of the team, but he has outwitted them and runs through the snowy forrest, Slowly, the Hunters become the Hunted and the Last man begins his last stand.

The Best Is Yet To Come

The Men took another step forward.

The horn ran through the leaves,

Yet he carried on; Walking, a dead man’s walk

The men search and hunt for the lone survivor,

As he walks his dead man’s train,

Yet he walks on; walking his dead man’s walk.

The soldiers found his train; blood, footprints and dead comrades.

One long line of death, the barks of the Dogs of War.

Yet he carried on; Walking, a dead man’s walk.

He watched them approach, loading the last of his bullets,

They had no Idea he was that closes; waiting... waiting...

Yet he carried on; Walking, a dead man’s walk.

The Action barely last a minute; Sixty on one,

Fighting with rifle, pistol and knife, now he lay, staring at the stars,

No longer walking on; Sleeping, the dead mans walk.
