Dragonslayer Lyrics

The Wyrm at last has risen, has risen from its sleep

Its mind is filled with chaos, its heart filled with hate

And he's come to slay the dragon, great serpent of the deep

Yes he's come to slay the dragon, as it always was his fate

Unknown and yet still certain, his time is drawing near

The winds of wyrd have shifted, and the glass is growing clear

He calls to his thanes among him, in the red sun's dying ray

"Prepare for the doom of battle, to bear your lord away"

And he's come to slay the dragon, only then shall there be peace

It cannot be done by any other man, only he can kill the beast

And he's come to slay the dragon, great serpent of the deep

For he's come to slay the dragon, as shall be his final feat

With the sorrow of an old man, who mourns his only heir

He goes beneath the earthen cave, knowing what he'll find there

Like a crumbled castle on a hill humbled by time

His kingdom cannot outlive him, his death will be its demise

At last he's slain the dragon, at last, slain the beast

He's taken wound to flesh and soul, he has at last brought peace

His body lies there broken, a smile reaches his eyes

For at last he's slain the dragon, and thus the hero dies
