Dragonslayer
Iron Savior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just like a spider in the web with its flies
Down through the forest of the Aare-Valley
A hunter, a vagabond of the lies
From Solothurn to Huttwil the king of the thieves

Dragonslayer he'd like to be
Evil is his destiny
A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies
A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies

Just like the wolves hungry for flesh
This man is so hungry, so hungry for cash
A sword in his hand, destroy and destruction
He wants to be the king, the king of corruption

Dragonslayer he'd like to be
Evil is his destiny

A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies
A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies

A dream of luck for all his time
Freedom, glory and o crime
A dream of luck for all his time
Freedom, glory and o crime

In memory of a dragonslayer
In memory of a dragonheart
In memory of a dragonslayer
In memory of a dragonheart

In memory of a dragonslayer
In memory of a dragonheart
In memory of a dragonheart
In memory of a dragonheart

Just like a spider in the web with its flies
Down through the forest of the Aare-Valley
A hunter, a vagabond of the lies
From Solothurn to Huttwil the king of the thieves

Dragonslayer he'd like to be
Evil is his destiny

A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies




A hunter, a lord of the night
A vagabond and a king of the lies
