Dio – Killing The Dragon Lyrics 10 years ago
To me, this song entails Humanity's natural tendency to seek out what we perceive to be "bad" - be it immoral, unethical, "evil", or even just something we don't understand - and destroy it, pass Laws against it, or simply ridicule it... it pacifies our sense of righteousness, and helps us deal with a world we feel we have no or little control over.

"Killing the Dragon" is taking on a cause that we deem worthy, in order to benefit ourselves or others - for various reasons... ego, self-esteem, morals and values, Religion, personal beliefs, Political, superstition, fame, or profit... the list goes on - but it will always be a part of Human Nature to take on the "heroic" challenge of "Killing the Dragon."
