the dragons dwelling

 

 

  Down in the treasure mine, deep..

Dwelling horriblly in the dark

Sleeping quietly, slumber..

The serpent lies coiled around its mate 

                                  Its friend

 

The sick dragons scales pull and fall away

    His golden crown becomes rusted by day

Down there no children play

     Say, please, say

Cry to the lonely king

     Sing, sing, sing

watch it sing along

 

Weep with the lonely friend

The only victim

   Look now at his only companion

The withered skeleton he protects

   The bones of the girl-child, the only one who dared

 

Who stayed in the mine with the serpent

It seems only dieing girls care
