As dragons rise upon the wing each morn’
So shines the dawn, fire of ages past
In the dawning of time ere peace was torn
By dragon kin who earth to darkness cast

As reptile’s barbed tongue so sweet persuad’d
Fair Eve earth’s doom to take, so end’d true light
Until the king’s return brings renew’d
Light ending sadness and pain, giving sight

A sentence then was handed down as earn’d
The dragon lost his legs, and faithful ones
They hid themselves until the king return’d
When fly they shall again for the true son

The brightest dawn shall coax into the air
The dragons that great day from stony lair
