The Dragon I heard a tale Of a dragon who saved a town He fought off every danger And asked for nothing in return He stood at one hundred feet tall With wings that could blow down a castle And the people looked upon him And more than ever They saw a god And they sang, “O, Holy Monster, what are you?” And they danced all around for a fortnight or two “But it's time for bed So rest your head, sweet dragon May we ever be your friends.” Now this dragon had a home It was far away in the mountains And sometimes he felt lonely Being the only one of his kind He called the town his friends But they believed that he was So much more And he sang, “I am your savior, not your God! I've done nothing to deserve the praise you throw around your lots” “But it's time for bed So rest your head, sweet dragon” “I am ever only your friend.” And they sang, “O, Holy Monster, what are you?” And they danced all around for a fortnight or two “But it's time for bed So rest your head, sweet dragon May we ever be your friends.” “I am ever always your friend.” The Dragon, Part II Grey skies overhead I feel everything, and yet nothing Maybe I'm growing lonely Being the only one all around It's been so many years Since I've seen her face on this mountain Maybe I should go And search all the skies till I find her And he sang, “O, mighty creature, where are you? I am only so strong as the one I hold on to But it's time for bed So I'll rest my head on this mountain Will you ever come home?” The townspeople gathered then And wondered how they could help him “Maybe we should repay him For guarding our town all these years” “It seems that he's growing lonely Being the only one in this valley Let's take all our treasure We'll scatter the land till we find her” And they sang “O, Holy Monster, where are you? We must dry the tears of our friend, that he'd be happy too But it's time for bed So rest your head, sweet dragon We are ever always your friends.” And they sang, “O, Holy Monster, what are you?” And they danced all around for a fortnight or two “But it's time for bed So rest your head, sweet dragon May we ever be your friends.” “I am ever always your friend.” The Dragon, Part III Gold covers the ground But I'm so far from home Maybe it could be A mighty creature, my old friend And she sang, “O, mighty creature, where are you? I am only so strong as the one I hold on to But it's time for bed So rest your head, my lover I am on my way back home” The wind blows against my way But I'm still far from home These trees have grown so tall But I'll burn them all down to see you again And she sang, “O, mighty creature, where are you? I am only so strong as the one I hold on to But it's time for bed So rest your head, my lover I am on my way back home” The fog begins to clear I'm growing closer now And I can hear that roar I know it so well, my old friend And they sang, “O, mighty creature, here are you!” And they danced all around for a fortnight or two “But it's time for bed So we'll rest our heads together I am so glad you're back home I am so glad you're back home.”
