Dragon Temple

There's high in the rock There lived a white dragon His body is on fire Before time began He guarded the stone Its edges are jade Didn't take eyes off him, waited. When the world sleeps through a hundred winters Once upon a time The dragoness was transformed In stone like a white dragon Now guarded without sleep There's a rumor about that stone Reached every knight Everyone dreamed then About glory and the king's daughter And here's the bravest one Pierced the dragon's heart with a sword For the sake of the princess's heart He went to the gorge alone Found a stone in a nest Drops of blood corroded the cracks Without noticing this, he Hastened for the promised reward Magnificent wedding in a castle near the forest The whole royal retinue has arrived And the princess put it on Crown with green jade And the cracks split The crown melted In grief and ominous fire The dragon's bride has appeared And at one glance The castle and the courtiers were burned And filled the rivers with poison Doomed the neighboring regions to destruction Turned into a princess There's blood in the red stone The dragon that is in the rock near the forest Your jade shore among the snow Brave knight, hold on A handful of ashes and a red stone The bride is sleeping When a dragon is killed for profit He turns to jade And awakens after a hundred years Or when his love Became a jade too Protect her from greed and troubles Now somewhere in the rock the dragoness lay.
