歌词

[00:00.14] NEVILLE:
[00:04.12] When we left off last night
[00:07.82] The hideous dragon
[00:08.67] Had carried the maid to his cave by moonlight
[00:10.16] He gnashed his teeth, and breathed his fire
[00:11.80] The heath quaked, and we trembled in fear.
[00:13.58] I said someone must save this sweet raven-haired maiden,
[00:20.26] Though surely the cost will be steep.
[00:22.65] So we lads all drew lots,
[00:25.84] Our insides tied in knots,
[00:27.85] And I won, and the rest went to sleep.
[00:30.85] So, I picked up my staff, 
[00:34.46] And I followed the trail Of his smoke 
[00:37.40] To the mouth of the cave,
[00:40.12] And I bid him come out,
[00:42.42] Yea, forsooth, I did shout,
[00:44.06] Ye fool dragon be gone or behave!
[00:49.20] And then under my breath, 
[00:52.97] I uttered a charm said
[00:55.54] To make the worst fiends become kind.
[00:58.06] Knaves and knights of dire plights,
[01:00.67] Now diminish his sights!
[01:02.66] And it worked and the dragon went blind.
[01:06.24] And he charged off the cliff
[01:08.44] Howling mad and he died,
[01:10.64] And the maiden accepted my ring.
[01:13.82] And then you came along, 
[01:16.22] And were brave, bold, and strong,
[01:18.61] And in thanks, every night now I sing:
[01:21.46] Race you to the top of the morning!
[01:25.77] Come, sit on my shoulders and ride!
[01:30.06] Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
[01:33.82] Climb hills to remind you,
[01:38.13] I love you, my boy at my side!
[01:44.30] Now, another foul dragon's appeared, 
[01:47.31] I must leave you.
[01:48.96] He's scorching our land with his breath.
[01:52.14] From his lair this one taunts me,
[01:54.55] He dares me, he haunts me.
[01:56.49] Once again, we must fight to the death!
[01:58.86] Would to God I could stay and instead slay your dragon,
[02:03.05] This beast who sits hunched on your back.
[02:05.81] Would God I could wrench him away from your bed,
[02:09.97] Or cut off or tear off his terrible head,
[02:13.82] Could breathe out my fire on him 
[02:16.21] 'Till he was dead,
[02:17.72] Or beg him to spare you and take me instead!
[02:23.17] As it is I must leave you in care of my brother,
[02:39.95] The wizard, who lives on the hill,
[02:42.72] Who has promised his art,
[02:45.94] Will soon pierce through the heart
[02:47.94] Of this dragon that's keeping you ill.
[02:51.12] And I know that your mother, God bless her,
[02:56.04] Would want you to do as he says and grow strong.
[03:00.46] And you know that as soon as I can I'll return,
[03:04.74] So be brave, son and know that I long
[03:08.75] To race you to the top of the morning!
[03:13.93] Come, sit on my shoulders and ride.
[03:18.34] Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
[03:22.97] Climb hills to remind you 
[03:27.71] I love you! 
[03:31.87] I love you, my boy at my side!
