Whatever fate we've earned
Whenever it is delivered
We know well
We'll not live forever
Given this quest to fulfill
Not because we are brave
But because we serve
With no greater will
Than to be the hand
Of the Emperor
And his Shogun
Three warriors of some expertise
Called to slay an enormous beast
Ready with arrows and blades
Our aim and minds steady
To face the infernal foe
With no fear, eyes that glowed
We gashed his flesh
He slashed our bodies
We gave everything in us
As did the dragon
We all wore armor
Ours forged by craftsmen
The dragon protected by scales
We watched in the end
We were bleeding, spent
As the foe dragon rose in ascent
We were happy to still be alive
Leaping from the dark cave
There it rose to the sky
Fleeing three small men
Who defended their land
Against his breath and inner fire
But somehow we survived
His scales pierced by arrows
His flesh cut by steel blades
Somehow we did the impossible
Not from desire
But desperation and hope
Our courage allowed us victory
And to be in the end, saved
