Led by relentless bent to wander,
searching marvels which to ponder.
Spying out a rocky highland,
we land upon red dragon island.

Horizon to horizon destruction spread,
laid waste by fire, full of dread.
Streams where once did verdance thrive,
broken bloated corpses now do lie.

Across blasted, burning moat,
to Cavern deep, retreat unsought.
Recoiling from foul breath stench,
On pommel do the fingers clench.

A roar shatters, rents and wrenches,
ripping gashes in our senses.
lips a'curling Nostrils flare,
eyes glow with hungers fire.

The ancient, red 'neath leather wings,
whispers promise of the death it brings.
Teeth of ivory, finely honed,
Sharpened on the scattered bones.

Seeking searching scent of life,
piercing deepest gloom with clearest sight.
Fiery, mad, wicked, perverse.
Evil bringer, unnatural force

With talons locked and greedy eyes,
trying to seize defenseless prize.
Pulling victims to its maw,
sparkling teeth, slathering jaws.

Finding new courage terror assuaged,
rallying as music is played.
Facing down death with companions dear,
we overcome dragon fear.

playing tunes meant to tantalize,
and then to slow and blind it's eye.
singing songs so to detain,
The dragon rage with their refrain.

We fought as music lulled it's senses.
Fought as music firmed our defenses.
This was the way the beast to conquer,
with music iron, steel, and magic conjured.

Claws flailed reaching for our destruction,
biting tearing mangling crushing.
It's fury rising to know no avail,
safe in the dance we did prevail.

With sword arrow spell and song,
finally the beast was done.
For the music had all inspired,
and the evil dragon had expired

With good cheer and many a smile,
we sailed our way from that bleak Isle.
For now dead lies that fiend within its cave,
insuring more than I be saved.
