She disappeared from here when she was only seventeen.
She said "The world is so much bigger and it's begging to be seen."
Her mother cried and carried on, her sister said, “please stay.”
But late one lonely night, she packed her bag slipped away.

Now many years went by and some were cruel and some were kind
And soon her thoughts returned to all the love she left behind
But when she traveled back, she was quite shocked by what she found,
Her home and half the village had been burned to the ground

She picked a sword up from the ashes and she raised it in the air
Caught sight of her reflection and quietly declared
“I'm not a friend of violence, but I won't run from a fight.
I know I'm not a hero, but I'm here to set things right.”

She learned about the dragon that had terrorized the town
And organized an army aimed to bring the creature down
But they all ran in a panic when they heard dragon scream
And she was left alone to either run or be redeemed

She picked a sword up from the ashes and she raised it in the air
Caught sight of her reflection and quietly declared
“I'm not a friend of violence, but I won't run from a fight.
I know I'm not a hero, but I'm here to set things right.”

And The battle raged for hours 'till she fell down from fatigue
She prepared herself to die, but then she heard the dragon speak
It said, “You're fighting for a memory, but friend, you've been coerced
Yes, I burned down half the village, but they attacked me first.”

You see, the dragon had been born before the village had been founded
And as the village grew, the dragon slowly felt surrounded
The village tried to drive it out, and it was scared to go alone
'Cause the dragon had never see the world that lay beyond it’s home

She picked a sword up from the ashes and she raised it in the air
Caught sight of her reflection and quietly declared
“I'm not a friend of violence, but I won't run from a fight.
I know I'm not a hero, but I'm here to set things right.”

When the people in village were quite sure the fight was done
They sent a lonely sentry to inform them who had won
He reached the dragon's lair, set to run back in a flash
But found everything abandoned,
...Save one sword that was laying in the ash
