I heard a dreadful roar, a monster breaking down our door A fiendish nightmare from primordial lore We tried to escape from its maws hung agape But as I fled, I asked myself what I was running for
I looked it dead in the eyes; could I meet my demise At the heads of a creature that's quadruple my size? I don't hesitate, as I'm tempting my fate And I refuse to let myself be its prize
It took my land and my home, Kept the fires burning I brimmed with resolve, but my insides were churning I do my best to drown out the dread
But there were too many heads Its massive body blazed a swath of destruction They tore us to shreds It showed us fury like a fiery eruption Like a ravenous animal, it scattered our dead On the rooftops, bloodied and red The beast had too many heads It's a predator, and we were its prey Its massacre spreads My friends and family were running away But I stood up to the monster and defended our stead In territory no one dared to tread
