 Dm    C/E    Dm/F C/E Dm
Long ago,  I went to  war
    Dm         C/E         Dm/F 
To fight the scourge of 
C/E Dm/F
Christendom
   F     C        Dm C    Dm   
I held aloft my blessed sword, 
C    Dm
and said

"By God, let them come!"

[Verse]
      Dm        C/E       Dm/F 
They said their eyes are red   
C/E  Dm
as flame
   Dm       C/E       Dm/F  C/G  
I heard it told from hell they  
Dm/A
came
        F        C           Dm  
Their breath is fire, their 
    C   Dm C
tongues are forked
  Dm          C          Dm C    Dm
Thus are the beasts of Dragon's Gate

[Chorus]

I heard my father's words deep 
    Gm7 Dm
in my  heart

"Son, know your enemy, as I   
         Dm
know my son."

The Fates were kind, they let  
C/E Dm
me   in
      Dm      C/E       Dm/F C/G 
The dragon's lair, the den   of  
 Dm/A
sin
    F         C     Dm C    Dm
I placed my sword upon its heart
C    Dm      C          Dm  C   Dm
And with a prayer, I thrust it in

The dragon fell upon the ground
        Dm    C/E      Dm/F 
'Twas then I heard a whimpering 
C/G  Dm/A
sound
    F    C           Dm C    Dm
A dragonling to his father clung
  C Dm     C           Dm   C   Dm
Who only fought to protect his young

Christendom

He holds aloft his brazen sword

my son."
