I am a wizard
I wasn't born one
I have learnt my craft with time
And I'm often in the woods
Honing my spells of shock and ice
But I'm a poor man
The local mages teach their wizdom at great price
I try selling things at my market stall
Hyssop, sage and thyme
But one night I saw a winged beast
Come swooping down from high
It's fiery breath lit up the forest sky
My hands did shake, but I blasted frozen electricity
Straight in its mouth and it fell into the trees
Acting on instinct
I scaled the tree trunk
And I scaled its scaley tail
It's flinching slowly faded
My bravery had prevailed
I was a hero
I'd saved the town
I'd saved their lives
Yet no-one saw
I needed proof
I reached inside its mouth
Yanked at its jaw
I put it in a case
And proudly placed it at my stall
But for the reaction I was not prepared at all
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
Is what they said to me
"The one there in that old glass case
You keep under lock and key?"
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
One warrior exhaled
I shook my head and simply said
"This tooth is not for sale"
When I was younger
I read an ancient book
Detailing the cursed dragon's teeth
Stronger than a sword
Pity all it met with underneath
The problem being
When the tooth comes in contact
With the blood it draws
The dragon is reborn
Even stronger than before
But curses, I'm so poor and sick
And in debt to all the mages
And a mage will not accept his wage in sage
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
One man was getting mad
And I was getting desperate
For I'd spent all that I had
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
My stomach was in knots
I frowned my brow, looked up and said
"Well how much have you got?"
I took his bags of gold
I paid my debts and left that place
I was 4 miles up a mountain by this stage
I turned, just for a moment when I heard the howls of pain
And my eyes met with a town engulfed in flames
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
Is what they said to me
"The one there in that old glass case
You keep under lock and key?"
"How much for the dragon tooth?"
Those words pervade my thoughts
Well, what's the cost of glory?
Can it simply not be bought?
"How much for that dragon tooth?"
A spell of shock and ice
How much is not enough, you fools
Can you afford the price?
How much is not enough, you fools
Can you afford the price?
