Bodies In Barrels - Dragon Slayer lyrics

rate me

A mythical beast,

Feared by the masses.

Unmatched in strength,

With thousands of sharp teeth.

A night's journey over yonder peaks,

If it's eternal fame the hero seeks.

Through the blistering cold,

Amongst the skeletons of the bold.

Many have attempted the task at hand,

But the beast is yet to be bested by a man.

Courage and fortitude, with only friends of steel and solitude,

You approach the beast's lair,

No time for fear.

Last chance to escape from here.

Dead bodies lay here, burnt and lost.

So drive the blade between the scales and watch the blood flow,

When you’re against thousands of sharp teeth.

In that fiery breath of hell, (it’s him or you), failure's not an option,

So take your sword and slay the dragon.

Two tonnes of sinew and steel, endless rows of jagged teeth,

Claws that slice through sword and mail, but a beating heart lies beneath.

So fierce and frightening, as fast as lightening, impossible agility,

Take a look at this spawn of hell; it may be the last thing that you see.

The final test has come, it's fallen to you this must be done.

So grip your sword and fasten your shield, this is going to be one hell of an ordeal.

[CHORUS]

[BUILD UP/BREAKDOWN X2]

So fucking take that sword and have no remorse,

With your shield and armour you can now set your course,

Strike the dragons heart, on the right side of its chest,

Tear the flesh apart, that's what a knight does best.

This dragon before you now,

His breath ignites the ground.

So look to the skies and scream,

“Taste my sword!”

As the battle rages on,

Both begin to tire.

The monster is nearly gone,

You have survived the fire.

The end is near, nothing left to fear,

The dragon’s dead, it lost its head.

The quest is complete with the dragon's defeat,

This hero is now a legend.
