From the depths of the earth at Juno's command,
the Scorpion rose with the wave of his hand.
Black armored skin shiny and new,
deadly sharp tail arched above to skew.
Orion The Hunter, his fate sealed by this act,
Juno's vengeance in hatred's pact.
The Scorpion hunts in dark silence to find his prey.
Orion stirs in sleep, unbeknownced as he lay.
Sting pierces skin, deadly mission accomplished,
venom flows through the body, the gods are astonished!
The creature diminishes in self sacrifice,
serving his master he curls up and dies.
Opposite side of the heavens, Zeus raises them both,
Immortalized in stars, the tragic story is told.
The Scorpion rises as Orion sets,
forever apart no closer he gets.
O'Scorpius - god's creature of the earth,
by design you're from divine birth.
Missions undertaken you follow through,
to live, to die, destiny is true.
