We Have Come to Slay the Dragon

The Truth is our double-edged sword.

Chosen one,

Raise your sword against the hot sun,

For we have come to slay the dragon.

The sweat on your brow gleams

As the orange mountains bask in golden beams,

Fear gripping your heart at the seams.

...

An army of kings stand beside you.

Their grit and weapons sharpened anew.

Courage and confidence brew.

Start the beat of the war drum.

"For future! For fair skies! For freedom!"

...

"Charge at this beast!

Let his tongue taste bitter with defeat!"

Death greets. he flees in retreat!

You and victory are separated by action.

You have the choice to lead your legion.

Go on the path set before you since the dawn of creation.

...

So,

Destined one,

Lift your metallic weapon.

Let it pierce the belly of the sun,

For we have come to slay the dragon.
