Dragon's Hoard - Lyrics - Zandelle

Or 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
