Dragon's Hoard

For hundreds of winters the dragon lay sleeping in a

cavern far beneath the earth

Protecting its treasure from any who'd venture too

near

Once every decade it'd rise from its slumber to soar

over mountains and seas

Collecting more treasure while filling the heartland

with fear

Mighty wings would lift it higher from one city to the

next

Kills its foes with breath of fire, powerful demon of

death

Many attempted to bring the dragon down

Widows their wives soon became

Collecting its treasure from across the land

'Protecting my hoard'

From his foes with its breath of flame

Back in its cavern the dragon would travel to sleep

for another ten years

Content in the knowledge that its treasure hoard had

grown

Few brave souls would dare to pursue it in hopes to

slay it in its sleep

And have many stories of their noble deeds be told

Not knowing that sleeping dragons can detect someone

nearby

They'd rush in to find the dragon was awake its foes

would die

Many attempted to bring the dragon down

Widows their wives soon became

Collecting its treasure from across the land

'Protecting my hoard'

From his foes with its breath of flame

Many attempted to bring the dragon down

Widows their wives soon became

Collecting its treasure from across the land

'Protecting my hoard'

From his foes with its breath of flame
