For hundreds of winters the dragon lay sleeping in a
cavern far beneath the earth
Protecting its treasure from any who'd venture too
near
Once every decade it'd rise from its slumber to soar
over mountains and seas
Collecting more treasure while filling the heartland
with fear
Mighty wings would lift it higher from one city to the
next
Kills its foes with breath of fire, powerful demon of
death
Many attempted to bring the dragon down
Widows their wives soon became
Collecting its treasure from across the land
'Protecting my hoard'
From his foes with its breath of flame
Back in its cavern the dragon would travel to sleep
for another ten years
Content in the knowledge that its treasure hoard had
grown
Few brave souls would dare to pursue it in hopes to
slay it in its sleep
And have many stories of their noble deeds be told
Not knowing that sleeping dragons can detect someone
nearby
They'd rush in to find the dragon was awake its foes
would die
Many attempted to bring the dragon down
Widows their wives soon became
Collecting its treasure from across the land
'Protecting my hoard'
From his foes with its breath of flame
Many attempted to bring the dragon down
Widows their wives soon became
Collecting its treasure from across the land
'Protecting my hoard'
From his foes with its breath of flame
