Deep within the lair a beast awakens From its thousand year slumber Now hunger lures the monster from its cave Out to lurk among the prey
As the ages pass their fears relax Through generations they forget How time obscures the memories of the world And soon they will regret
In the morning fog a village rises Obscured by smoke and fire the beast abides Roaring out to warn of the coming storm It thunders consuming all within Leaving nothing left
In the distant sky a cloud of ashes rises The signal fire draws a warrior's eye As he scans the disaster's aftermath And deciding that the beast must be destroyed
The hero rides along the monster's trail Tracing smell of flesh He tracks it down into a mountain's cave To face the mouth of death Calls within a challenge to the beast The champion on a quest Not for glory but vengeance for the dead A noble cause indeed
From within the lair the beast emerges Standing tall in answer to the call Not for hunger but to satisfy the pride A chance to add one more to the toll
The hero makes his battle with the beast Clashing back and forth But it strikes back too powerful, too fast It lashed away his sword Defenseless as he chases for the blade Backed into the corner In the end it mattered not that he was brave For this is not his tale
All alone she lies there waiting Anxiously for his return Several days go by without a sign Another victim of the scourge
Knowing that the beast still lurks among A danger to them all Solemnly adorning armor of her own And sharpening her sword Calling out to find her bravest horse Off to start a war No time for mourning, just vengeance on her mind She rides into night
At the lair of the beast Dismounting from her steed She enters with a grudge Following a lust for blood
As she travels down into the cavern fog A thundering roar echoes through the walls Unwavering the warning falls ignored She marches on fearless and frenzied The bloodthirst drives her on
Eventually the cavern opens wide Reaching to the heart Staring at her from the other side The slayer of her love She finds him in the corner of her eye Enraged she charges blind Trading blows they stumble back and forth From dusk to dawn they fought
Exhausted from the battle with the beast It catches her off guard Striking clean it rips away her arm And backs her to the corner In victory it leans in close to taunt As she falls atop his corpse Underneath she finds his broken sword And slashes at the throat
At morning a dozen had gathered to ride Seeking the bounty of the beast But when they returned with full strength They told of a story that none could believe The wife of the champion had gone out and Avenged for her husband's defeat Through song our hero lives on Forever in peaceTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
