[Verse 1]
Down in the temple of broken stone
Where the old dark serpents lay
Richard drew the blade of Light
From the rock where it had stayed
But two red eyes in the doorway burned
And a hiss crawled through the hall
Old Quezacotl laughed like thunder
At the children standing small
[Chorus]
Sing ho for the Children of Light
Stand fast and never bend
For dragons learn a bitter truth
When the brave won’t break or end
[Verse 2]
Zach flew high on the jumping boots
And he struck the serpent’s side
Amanda’s shot cut past his eye
And stung the monster’s pride
But a dragon’s strength is mountain deep
And his wrath came crashing wide
Till the sword rang out on the temple stones
And the children were trapped inside
[Chorus]
Sing ho for the Children of Light
Stand fast and never bend
For dragons learn a bitter truth
When the brave won’t break or end
[Verse 3]
Then Richard of the Strongcastle line
Stood bleeding by the wall
And Amanda swore through dust and smoke
They would never beg or crawl
And Zach just laughed through broken breath
At the serpent looming tall
For the sons and daughters of Strongcastle
Were the last ones born to fall
[Chorus]
Sing ho for the Children of Light
Stand fast and never bend
For dragons learn a bitter truth
When the brave won’t break or end
[Verse 4]
Then a dry voice spoke behind the worm
“Try fighting one your size.”
There stood Andrew of Hover’s Pass
With the Lightblade in his rise
Prophet kicked like thunder’s wrath
And the dragon’s skull rang true
Then Andrew drove the shining steel
Clean the serpent’s brain straight through
[Final Chorus]
So drink tonight to the temple fall
And the serpent buried deep
To Andrew bold and Prophet strong
And the children who wouldn’t weep
For the blood of Strongcastle still runs hot
When the world stands in the night
And a dragon’s doom is waiting still
In the sword of living Light 🍻
