Monsters in the Night

[Dragonrider]

Yeah I know I'm a lousy poet. Words fail me any other way for this one . . .

Monsters in the Night

Deep within the night
Where the monsters roam
I find I am among them
And so very far from home

Why I have come here
I really cannot say
Forces in my soul said
I had to ride that day

The balmy midnight air
Really makes my spirit sing
The lust to ride, this need to see
Is a solid and tangible thing

In the night I find
A lady in distress
Honor is required
Can I pass this test?

My courage does not fail me
Attackers are dissuaded
Strength again my allay
They were forcefully persuaded

Away she finally travels
Safety in the night
The cost for me was great
As I really hate to fight

I rarely ever start things
Which is really just as well
‘cause once it’s clear it’s me who’ll finish them
I’ll send them straight to Hell

I was brought here for a reason
Forces compelling me to roam
My task is finished, I am released
The Dragon's headed home
