The Monster

(álbum: 12 Days of NerdOut Fan Contest Year 4 - 2021)

We once had hope for a future here
The last of us after all these years
The end came fast with fire and fang
Fight, my hunters, fight

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

We had not been upon these shores
Since 'fore the world was full of claws
Now hunters fight to bring us pause
Keep the wyverns down

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

Before the hunt becomes a slaughter
Load the bullet and shell and mortar
Blades unsheathed, thunder and water
To end this great tirade

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

No beast too strong to bring to heel
A hunter's mind is forged of steel
To fight this hard with courage and zeal
Against our deadly foe

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

A thousand hunts or even more
A glimpse of hope, a future we saw
Though many are lost, we fight on for
The glory they leave to us

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

As long as we live, the hunt's still on
The future young and the beasts not gone
Still we rise to heed their call
To fight the monsters one and all

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go

Soon may the monster fall
With blade and bullet and bow and song
One day when the dragons are gone
We'll end our hunt and go
