Analysis of The Dragons' March
Death comes on wing of fire
The sky lights up with red and orange
The dragons march
Look to the East
The horizons ablaze
The dragons march
Dragons reign our poor city
The hero shall come to free us all
Yet the dragons march on
She shall come soon
Blue and white dragons at her command
But still the dragons march
She shall force them in to battle
Many will perish
And the dragons will march no more
