hero slays the dragon
that turns out to be a damsel in distress
He reaches in to reclaim a sparkling gem
his hearts pocket is full
The spell is broken
And the dark forest is bathed in light
animals all come out of hiding
dungeons left behind
the witch is splashed with water
and she is cleansed of her former demeanor
a green wicked smile robbed of its malice
now a princess she shakes off the stinking robes
the king returns from exile
Laws now upheld slaves freed
A productive land enriched
demons all turned to stone
And remain the rock
foundations that castles are built on
