Dragons and Fables Lyrics

I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner, I am the one
Your battle is over before it begun
For a child on the run, I am free

Many tournaments fought in this land
Flying banners now dashed in the sand
The colours you wear will not keep me
For a child on the run, I am free

The courts and knights of the table
Bold stories of dragon and fable
Your sword is red-stained I can see
For a child on the run, I am free

Silks, satins, riches in plenty
Acres of land, four and twenty
I am not you, I am me
For a child on the run, I am free

I am the child of wars never won
Take heed prisoner, I am the one
Your battle is over before it's begun
For a child on the run, I am free!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
