Dragonslayer

The lord of Light is known by many names
Apollo, Delphic Archer
Paean, Leader of the Muses...

Dragonslayer!

You who faced
The reptilian miasma
Eleven thousand years ago
You who led those of your blood
In glorious battle to the farthest east...

Dragonslayer! Lord Apollo
Welder of the light that burns
Archer of power, Mighty holy one
Mighty God, Mighty Immortal One
Rise again and deliver
The children of the stars
From the Dragon's tyranny!

Apollo, the dragonslayer
Phoebus the fair-haired
Is coming back at last
On the outstretched fiery wings
Of a storm from the sun...

Raise your right hand to the sky
Hail the sun personified
Death to the tyrants
Vanquish the reptiles!

Dragonslayer! Lord Apollo
Welder of the light that burns
Archer of power, Mighty holy one
Mighty God, Mighty Immortal One
Rise again and deliver
The children of the stars
From the Dragon's tyranny!
