Lament of Avel the Drakon

Yet there he hides from a spark so small Avel the Drakon, lord of all But listen well, for the irony stands For fire he fears, with his own scaly hands A beast of legend, a paradox so clear A dragon that flinches at the flames drawing near Ah, see the dragon hiding there Ah, see his fear within his lair Ah, flame he dreads with great despair Ah, fire's dance he cannot bear (Avel the Drakon Hides from the spark where the magma has flown Behold, the giant trembling so Lo, in shadows his plight does show Bold in battle, yet fright takes hold By ember's light, his tale unfolds (Avel the Drakon Shuns the blistering fury's glow)
