Spoken Prologue: Legends, myths and memories tell Of a beast that wrought the gates of hell Whose fiery bloodlust and terrible wrath Destroyed all that laid in its path
When from an ancient order came The warrior who had no name Without a word, without a call He drew his sword to save us all
Verse 1: Oh how the fire grows, and oh how it burns A thousand glowing embers of a lesson never learned Maybe then we were too reckless, heading west to claim the land Not knowing of the forces we could never understand.
But ooooooh, we all know now I remember when we heard it first, when we heard the monsters sound
It echooooooooooeeeed through my bones Not even standing with all the ones I loved Would make me feel any less alone
Chorus: Here there be dragons Clawing at the gates Gnawing at our consciences and sealing in our fates
Here there be dragons You can feel it in the air They're sent to us by reckless gods For those who just don't care
And whoooooo will save us now, when there's no one who deserves to be saved? And all there's left to do Is hope they just don't torch my grave
Verse 2: Like Sodom and Gomorrah, they burned it to the ground We all cried out in terror but nobody made a sound For there on the horizon, armor gleaming in the sun Was the unknown righteous hero who would rescue everyone And ooooooooooooh his sword was drawn The fires gleamed off the blade It was the light of the new dawn
And theeeeeeeeen they began to fight We watched their silhouettes dancing as the flames burned through the night
(Chorus) Chaos/Fight Scene (Chorus) Verse 3 It was a long and gruesome battle, it lasted all the night We only heard the noises - couldn't see till it was light And once the sun rose up we saw only charred remains Dragons blood and scaly hide but no man with no name
And whhhyyyyyyy he had to die I looked round for an answer Then I looked up at the sky Was thaaaaaaat what he deserved At least he died a hero's death But what was it really worth?
Chorus: Here there were dragons they were clawing at the gates they were gnawing at our consciences and sealing in our fates
Here there were dragons But now the air is still They were sent to make us think again But now we never will
And whooooooo will save us now, though there's no one left to be saved? And we don't need a warrior now Just someone to start digging the graves
