He marches up the dune with two suns
beating down on his bare back


Finding salvation in self preservation
his survival depends on the
strength to attack


The dragon awaits for it's meal to arrive
there'll be no reservations when the time comes to dine


As the sky turns to red and the night settles in
a confrontation, a rite of admission begins



As dust settles in the combatants enclose

regarding each other as despiseable foes

lifting the spear the tip seems to glow

as the dragon attacks jagged teeth shine in rows

he strikes at the neck and the blood starts to flow

receiving a gash across the back for the blow



the dragon stumbles
wounded and injured
rushing at him in despair


he's calm and he's poised
adrenaline rushes

slowly he raises his spear

the dragon stumbles

wounded and injured
rushing at him in despair


he hurls his weapon
as the beast approaches
it whistles through the air


finding it's target
between the eyes

it shatters the great beast's skull

its eyes grow dim and it falls to the ground

the man retrieves his spear

wiping it off, the adrenaline fades

the warrior will claim his prize




the moon is out
his hands are bloody

he removes the pearl from it's throat

the moon is out

his hands are bloody
he removes the pearl from it's throat


The time comes
to return home
his trial passed with success


Carrying the
dragon's pearl

he comes home a man

He marches up the dune with two suns

beating down on his bare back

Finding salvation in self preservation

his survival depends on the
strength to attack



The dragon awaits for it's meal to arrive
there'll be no reservations when the time comes to dine

As the sky turns to red and the night settles in

a confrontation, a rite of
admission begins
