I ride the four winds as slayer of beasts.
Protector of a maiden, never the least.
My steed does carry me far this night
For a maid is calling, I must go to fight.

I fight the foes that come in her fears
Those that remain from the pain of years.
I take them and dash them to the rocks
for those fears too well wind back the clocks.

She needs a comforting arm which I give
An arm around a heart that bravely does live.
I come to her with the battle worn face.
Keeping her warm away from harm’s place.

Rest my maid, my fair one so very true.
Leave your fears with me, don’t be blue.
A Dragon Slayer keeps watch for the foe.
For your fears lie dead before me, you know.
