Carter Hall and Shiera

And man removed his magic scarves
To show a face by age yet hard
With wrinkles many sorrows hewed
That deep with secrets form imbued

"Before I heeded hero's call
My human name was Hector Hall
And many sorrows life has bid
To man whose help would you I give

If maid would just for moment hear
My tale would sure allay your fears."

And Kendra slowly nodded head
In hopes his words would ease her dread.

"Before my birth had love yet weaved
A tale I'm sure your heart would grieve.
My father Carter Hall had bid
His life to ways of justice give.

And wore a badge and worked the force
The weak to give their fair recourse.
And long on job he spent his days
His mind to nothing else then gave

And chased he Carmen Falcone long
The king of crime whose allies thronged
The streets and also halls of place
Where justice long had been efaced

And nothing else he deemed of worth
In all his days on all the earth.
Until a night when prey he stalked
At seedy club to which he walked

Then man did spy beside him sat
A woman fair beyond begat
Of mortal men like fire she shone
And all his thoughts on her now honed.

And woman also saw his face
Her heart along began to race.
In secret meetings hid away
By dark of night and alleys shade

The pair did meet and deeper fall
Against her code against his law...
And Carmen Falcone also knew
His anger great then also grew.
