Bashful voices speaking to me in the night
as I hear a story slowly filling me with fright
For it seems I am the hero, he sets upon a mission
to free himself from a tiresome and horrible position

---

He learns by sorrow that happiness has passed him by
Dread clings to him like a ball and chain around his thigh
to cure this dreadful condition he finds a mighty wizard
which points him in the direction of a horrible lizard

---

He takes his chain, sword and off to find the beast he go
Through dark misty swamps he walks looking for his foe
The highest mountain peak he climbs without rest
until he find the cave, finally an end to his quest

---

Through each barren chamber he passes, he feels a stifling fear
it's cold grip near sent him bolting, just as a golden pile appear
At the very pile peak lay the beast, heavy asleep and snoring
Laying safe and dreaming sound, atop of all the joy it's hoarding

---

He takes one step towards the evil bringer of his pain
the sweat from his head glistening, dripping onto his chain
he aims for the neck with his sword so far above his head
for a brief moment he looks down and there a gaze was met

---

He looked deep and hard, hoping to see this devilish causation
yet as he stared he saw nothing, nothing beside his own reflection
a sad chained fool hoping to fight his pain away was all he could see
so he swung his sword down, with might and tears, to cut himself free
