The Ballad of Black Scorpion

V3.5

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the heart of South America, Ernesto was his name, A mercenary's life he led, in war’s chaotic game. He fought with guns and bravery, a warrior so bold, But fate would change his story, a new path to unfold. [Chorus] Oh, Black Scorpion, in armor dark and grand, With a tail that strikes like lightning, a blaster in his hand. Through science and through sacrifice, his power he commands, For Lord Recluse he fights, in the Rogue Isles he stands. [Verse 2] He ventured to the North one day, on a mission gone awry, A hidden lab, a deadly fight, beneath the desert sky. A suit of power he discovered, its secrets he unveiled, And with a ruthless hand, he slew the man who had it scaled. [Chorus] Oh, Black Scorpion, in armor dark and grand, With a tail that strikes like lightning, a blaster in his hand. Through science and through sacrifice, his power he commands, For Lord Recluse he fights, in the Rogue Isles he stands. [Bridge] With cybernetic implants, he’s more machine than man, A loyal brute with hunger, to grow his deadly span. Silver Mantis by his side, they wreak their havoc well, In Arachnos, they’re feared, where dark ambitions dwell. [Verse 3] Now scientists cower, beneath his watchful eye, He drives them to perfection, with threats they can’t deny. For every piece of tech he gains, his power only grows, Ernesto is relentless, in the path that he chose. [Chorus] Oh, Black Scorpion, in armor dark and grand, With a tail that strikes like lightning, a blaster in his hand. Through science and through sacrifice, his power he commands, For Lord Recluse he fights, in the Rogue Isles he stands. [Outro] Though mistrusted by his comrades, his strength is undeterred, With brutality unmatched, his legacy assured. So heed this tale of power, of a man turned to machine, Black Scorpion, relentless, in his fearsome war machine.
