A mighty and hideous dragon
Has conquered our beautiful land
By burning to ashes the gardens
And turning the rivers to sand
Our army has proved unimportant
They could not stand murderous flame
The generals ran for the water
While soldiers had died for their fame
Now we must respect the lizard
Try our best to serve and please it
Fly! Monster in the sky
But conquest was not his intention
He cares the least for the throne
His eager and foremost attention
Was for human flesh, blood and bones
The dragon must eat every morning
And he has to eat quite a lot
He hunts down young women, he's horny
And eats them right there on the spot
So we need to find solution
Find someone for retribution
Come! Knight with shining sword
Liberate our land
We will wait
And one by one the knights have died
From flames or paws of the man-eater
Their swords and shields were put in pile
To daunt the future competitors
Nor princess' beauty, neither gold
Could anymore attract contenders
The judgment of the beast will hold
And no one's there to defend us.
And in these grim and desolated days
The council gathered to look for the way
We needed means to pacify the brute
To get control on his licentious loot
Then one of old and wise raised from his seat
He said that we should sacrifice a bit
We must decide ourselves who would be used
As food and thus we will protect our youth
Now we made up our minds
Beast we will pro-vide every night
We fed it with weaklings and ailing
With criminals real and forged
So dragon grew fat and ungainly
It could not fly high anymore
It stays in its cave stuffed and sated
And no one depraves our land.
We prosper and feel quite protected
By wise who has glory well gained
Now he moved inside the castle
Married princess without hassle
And we call him liberator
Mighty dragon subjugator
Hail! Potent overlord
Flourish in the world
Land will hold!
We, we will never think
To forget your deed
Your bright wit.
