There Be Dragons Here
Then of a time no mortals be
Rose serpents from a salty sea
Both sword and shield they took in hand
To battle gods upon the land
Headlong they rushed without a thought
And staged the wars in which they fought
Their purpose theirs and theirs alone
To rule the world upon a throne
For eons both the mighty clashed
As dragons fired and lightning flashed
No force could stem their will to win
When one would fall one rose again
But finally the war curtailed
And in the end the gods prevailed
Expelling both desire and flame
Back to the deep from whence they came
