The Liberator

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.
