toehider - how much for that dragon tooth? lyrics

i am a wizard. i wasn’t born one, i have learnt my craft with time
i’m often in the woods honing my spells of shock and ice
but i’m a poor man. the local mages teach their wizdom at great price
i try selling things at my market stall + hyssop, sage and thyme..
but one night i saw a winged beast come swooping down from high
it’s fiery breath lit up the forest sky
my hands did shake, but i blasted frozen electricity
straight in its mouth and it fell into the trees!

acting on instinct i scaled the tree trunk, and i scaled its scaley tail
it’s flinching slowly faded. my bravery had prevailed
i was a hero! i’d saved the town, i’d saved their lives! yet no+one saw..
i needed proof. i reached inside its mouth + yanked at its jaw
i put it in a case and proudly placed it at my stall but for the reaction i was not prepared at all…

“how much for that dragon tooth?” is what they said to me
“the one there in that old glass case you keep under lock and key?”
“how much for that dragon tooth?” one warrior exhaled
i shook my head and simply said “this tooth is not for sale”

when i was younger i read an ancient book detailing the cursed dragon’s t++th +
stronger than a sword, pity all it met with underneath
the problem being when the tooth comes in contact with the blood it draws
the dragon is reborn, even stronger than before!
but curses, i’m so poor and sick and in debt to all the mages
and a mage will not accept his wage in sage…
“how much for that dragon tooth?” one man was getting mad
and i was getting desperate, for i’d spent all that i had
“how much for that dragon tooth!?” my stomach was in knots
i frowned my brow, looked up and said “well how much have you got?”

i took his bags of gold, i paid my debts and left that place (i was 4 miles up a mountain by this stage) i turned, just for a moment when i heard the howls of pain
and my eyes met with a town engulfed in flames..

“how much for that dragon tooth?” is what they said to me
“the one there in that old glass case you keep under lock and key…?”
“how much for the dragon tooth?” those words pervade my thoughts
well, what’s the cost of glory? can it simply not be bought?
“how much for that dragon tooth?” a spell of shock and ice
how much is “not enough”, you fools, can you afford the price?
