lyrics

They charge at you with their battle axes
They are you upset you raised their dragon taxes
Battle axes
And dragon taxes

To light a fire, need to strike a match
Dragons breathe it from the moment they hatch
They're unrestrained, they're burning up the town
Someone's got pay for damages, it won't be the crown

They're charging, swinging 'round their battle axes
You raised their ire with your dragon taxes
Battle axes
And dragon taxes
They're charging, swinging 'round their battle axes
You raised their ire with their dragon taxes
Battle axes
And dragon taxes

Shields and swords and iron maces
Catapults in several places
We defend our peerless castle
From all these revolting vassals

What do they know about the public good?
There's safer ways to light their firewood
They ought to check their insurance rates
Instead they try to push through triple fortified gates

The sun's reflecting off their battles axes
They're straight irate about their dragon axes
Battle axes
And dragon taxes
