I come from a land far far away
So far away from here you've never heard its name
I've walked across the shores of distant Babylon
And found myself here on the shores of whatever island you're on
I've come to bid you well and tell the truth
To lay siege to the fears that have been haunting you
If there's a terror that strikes you I'll be on my way
To show the little rodent it turns into in light of day
All your white turns to green
In this magical scene
A scream from the sky
A dreadful monster's eye
With a taste for the innocent below
You know you're in for one hell of a show
To the dragon's lair
Swooping and diving through the air
Caught in the dragon's claws
For every plan has its own flaws
I set down in the barren mountain floors
Beating wings and hunting eyes, what for
I caught you, not what I intended to find
So if you please, go on your way, leave me behind
I smelled the sheep below and came to feast
The fearful peasants fled before the beast
No harm to man, I only came for lamb and ram
But you were all I saw, so here I am
All that white turned to green
Even though my eyes are keen
I come down from the sky
Deceived by your lie
With a taste for the innocent below
You know you're not my type so you may go
To the dragon's lair
Swooping and diving through the air
Caught in the dragon's claws
For every plan has its own flaws
I only wanted to catch sheep, you know a lady's got to eat
You were the terror of the land, but I saved them by my own hand
It doesn't matter anyway, that green dye will wear off one day
But now you've brought me to your home, and I've got you all alone
In the dragon's lair
Far below the mountain, resting there
Caught in the dragon's gaze
For every plan can fail a thousand ways
In the dragon's lair
The sorcerer and lady facing fair
Caught in the dragon's gaze
And peace will die when gold is set ablaze
