The massive, miserable, misunderstood monster,
Roars his lonely lament to the sky.
Sorrowfully knowing, with all of his heart,
That no one will hear his cry.
Fire flows freely from his enormous jaws,
And the bravest of men would run from his claws.
But his wonderful strength was something to take,
And man claimed it as his own.
For the creature, it sobs tears of diamonds!
For its scales, they do shine like gold!
But the creature has vanished from all of our world,
Disappearing into the tales of the old.
