Dm   C      Dm   Am Dm
Long ago, I went to war
   Dm        C          Dm   Am  Dm
To fight the scourge of Christendom
  F    C        Dm  Am  Dm
I held aloft my blessed sword
    Dm        C    Dm  Am   Dm
And said, "By God, let them come!"

They said their eyes are red as flame

I heard it told from hell they came
      F         C           Dm      Am  Dm
Their breath is fire, their tongues are forked
Dm           C         Dm Am    Dm
Thus are the beasts of Dragon's Gate

[Chorus]
Bb C       F        Dm    C          Dm
I heard my father's words deep in my heart
Bb    C    F    Dm        C         Bb
"Son, know your enemy, as I know my son."

The Fates were kind, they let me in

The dragon's lair, the den of sin
  F         C      Dm  Am  Dm
I placed my sword upon its heart
    Dm     C         Dm     Am Dm
And with a prayer, I thrust it in

The dragon fell upon the ground

'Twas then I heard a whimpering sound
  F     C           Dm Am  Dm
A dragonling to his father clung
    Dm   C            Dm   Am  Dm
Who only fought to protect his young
