There was a time
When I still had my young mind
And I'd fly to the moon
on a balloon
​
There was a town
Where lived an ancient sad clown
She would spin out a tomb
On an old loom
​
Each day we'd climb the old staircase to see who she named
Etched in stone
Date they were born Date they would die
She was never wrong
​
One man was named
He saw the date he'd be maimed
It was two years away He wasn't yet gray
​
The more that he tried
To avoid the dread death prophesied
Only ensured his fate
Would fall on that day

For 2000 years an ancient prophecy has been etched on the stone pillar outside the castle wall:
"Once every century Drakus will fly burning lands of the mortals he’s always despised. But the 20th time will be his last when magic and dragons vanish into the past. Mounted riders on high tear him down to his doom and a new age of mortals and reason will boom. But science creates its own kind of dragon. So remember past heroes while raising your flagon."
