The Ballad of the Lone Mercenary

Born of steel, forged in flame
His destiny etched in the cruel game
A ship of shadows, his trusty steed
Across the galaxies, he takes the lead

From planet to planet, he answers the call
For gold and glory, he gives his all
With lasers blazing, and cannons roar
He faces the darkness, and yearns for more

Space mercenary, with a soul of steel
His battles are legend, his scars reveal
In the depths of space, where the brave dare tread
He fights for glory, until he's dead

Put in the silence of space, he hears a call
A voice from the past, haunting and small
Memories of home, and loved ones lost
In the vastness of space, his heart is the cost

Yet onward he flies, through the cosmic abyss
A soul bound to duty, no moment amiss
With battles behind and battles ahead
He marches on, where the brave dare to tread

Through asteroid fields, and nebulae vast
His courage never falters, his resolve steadfast
With every battle, a story to tell
In the cosmic dance, he fights and he quells

Amidst the chaos, he finds his peace
In the rhythm of combat, his worries cease
For in the heat of battle, he feels alive
In the clash of titans, he'll strive to survive

A warrior's journey, with no end in sight
In the vast expanse of eternal night
Yet in the silence, he finds his grace
In the stars above, in their endless embrace

Each victory won, a price to pay
In the game of survival, he'll find his way
Through the trials and tribulations, he'll endure
A space mercenary, forevermore

So raise a toast, to the warrior bold
In the cosmic tapestry, his story is told
For in the heart of the void, where darkness reigns
A space mercenary, forever remains
Forever remains

In the tapestry of stars, his story is told
A legend of valor, of the brave and the bold
Though he may fade, into the cosmic sea
His spirit lives on, in eternity
