One Chance to Fight

With just this single chance to fight
Lead with a sword, honor and dignity
Dangerous situations aren't planned
However undesired, they will happen
You may be all alone, if you find victory
This battle fought can stop predation
Few understand, no one knows
It is madness, without a reason why
Forward with shield, armor and chivalry
The beast challenged isn't weak, a dragon
No dragon will be defeated without preparation
To win you've no choice, you must act willfully
All of the lands are ravished, and scarred
While the people of the land hide in the castle
The final act of a war, evil was the causation
Knight be content in knowing, if you live or die
You bravely defended a land, your heart is pure
That you fought well, success is not in question
To be alive will mean that you've found victory
But if you die, know that your death will echo
And your loss will extend to all you defend
The action follows, one lives, one dies
The violence was swift and certain
Neither warrior nor dragon offered mercy
You survived, a dragon has died, a land secured
Humility prevents you boasting or celebration
Rather than find glee, you engage in reflection
By your hand an evil ancient beast was slain
By your hand you defeated a dragon
You won, it will forever after be unable
To slaughter humans again
