He was a majesty in a world unjust
A place full of death and mistrust
He breathed fire, and his heart was of magic
Gifted to a mortal, who died a death so tragic.

Silent lies the child upon the cobblestone
His beating heart no longer his own
But darkness, betrayal and evil awaited
For the boy to grow and become acquainted.

A man of honor rode up upon his black stead
Sword in one hand the other filled by a bottle of mead
Beside him rode a half-wit poet
Who was a knight himself but didn't know it.

They watched as the kingdom grew corrupt
Lead by a king who should have never grew up
For the heart that beat beneath his breast
Did not belong to his heaving chest.

And with courage from a poor man who had lost his sight
They gathered their forces with a boast of might
And charged at the castle with a horrific roar
To find that courage there, existed no more.

That night they rode away for they were beat
And many discouraged hung their heads in defeat
But just along the brim of the moon
Came a hovering shadow not a minute to soon.

The scaled majesty with the wings of the night
A beast hidden from mankinds sight
Inside his chest beat half a heart
For the other beat miles apart.

In the chest of a coward that had lived in vain
A man that had suffered many in pain
The dragon held up his wings in the cold nights air
And roared "slay me know before he gets here."

But that noble knight felt a guilt like no other
For that dragon he must slay was like a brother
Although he loathed the beast once when his head was not right
He did not loath the creature that dreadful night.

But with the seconds counting down the beast yelled it again
And this time he swung the sword into the chest of his friend
With a terrible screech it fell to the ground
And was parted by the tears of everyone around.

That dragon now belongs to the stars that watch over the dark
And if you look closely you'll see the dragons spark
It was a bravery that saved a village that was broken apart
Because there is no greater strength than a brave dragons heart.
