The Legend of the Mountain Dragon

[Verse] In ancient times, atop the mountain peaks, Lived a mighty dragon like never before. Its scales shimmered in the sunlight’s glow, And its eyes sparkled like stars in the sky. [Chorus] In spring, as the snows melted away, The dragon would awaken from its age-old slumber. Fiery flames would erupt from its jaws, And the wind, carried by their power, would scatter the clouds. [Verse] Villagers would share tales around their hearths, Of how the dragon guarded treasures hidden in caves. Some said golden coins lay at the bottom of a lake, While others believed the dragon’s scales held magical abilities. [Chorus] Travelers and seekers came from afar, To face the legendary dragon head-on. Some sought to defeat it and claim the treasures, While others looked for a friend or guide in the creature. [Verse] But the dragon was neither evil nor cruel, It was wise and mysterious, like the mountain mist. Once, when an avalanche threatened a lone wanderer, The dragon saved them, lifting them on its mighty wings. [Chorus] And so the legend of the Mountain Dragon endured, A guardian of secrets and riches within its caverns. No one knew if it truly existed, Yet it remained forever in the hearts of the people. and riches within its caverns. No one knew if it truly existed, Yet it remained forever in the hearts of the people. [Solo guitar] [End]
