Help me, she said, O brave knight you
The dragon will eat my brains
You see, she said, I can’t get out
I’m stuck, dying, in my pains

Help me, she said, I’m safe inside
Cold stone walls of fear
But if I leave this castle one step
I’m lost ‘cause I’m so insecure

Because there’s a dragon out there
And the fire on its tongue will flow
And if those harsh eyes ever touch me
Those flames will burn my soul

I’m just fuel for those flames
Because the dragon expected treasure
But coal can become a diamond
With just a little pressure

Help me, she said, O brave knight you
The dragon will shred my crown
But I’m ready to fight as long as you help
To break these castle walls down
