O, charmed ring
Thy ageless circle binds the death of ancient Kings,
whose long disordered legacy will be
Undone by Dragon’s Sting
From bitter lay
with fearless blade the bronze backed soldier makes its way
through lands afire to where cold stone once flowed
to Dragon Killer slay.
When eight blind eyes
‘round silent gape shall face the blaze of false sunrise
The Keeper of the Gates, once spurned, returns
to break the ancient ties.
