Oh, dragon deep within your lair,
Protect your legacy with care,
For scorching breath and molten fire,
Spark an envious Knight's desire.
If undercover of night he embarks,
To spring an ambush after dark,
Will the secret wish his heart confides,
Sacrifice his noble hide.
Sword in hand, upon a mighty steed,
his journey commences, fueled by greed.
Can a dragon's destruction be consoled
by a kingdom's ransom paid in gold?
And when alas all dragon's disappear,
Will a nation mourn with bitter tears?
Would the huddled masses empathize
if their breed endured a grand demise?
Oh, dragon deep within your lair,
Protect your legacy with care,
For scorching breath and molten fire,
Spark an envious Knight's desire.
