Against the Wyrm

Over time we became arrogant
Thinking ourselves so very important
So deeply righteous, oh such hubris
Wanting to kill rather than study
The Empire of the Wyrm was virulent
Humans perceived danger not the portent
The crusades carried out were ruthless
With human and dragon kind left bloodied
The Wyrm overlords were wise
They were ancient, they hated human lands
The humans were foolish, stupid
They were young kingdoms, and damned
The humans exterminated the Wyrm
The death toll counted beyond count
Attacks happened without end, in great swarms
Humans simply existed in numbers
No ancient race could surmount
