I Kill Dragons

from Songs in the Key of D&D by Amy Vorpahl

/

about

A very showtune-y, character-y song about a girl who confuses the fantasy of her D&D games with reality. Hmmm... I wonder who that girl could be?

lyrics

At my job interview, in the waiting room, I see it’s a little bit crowded
A bit of a wait, and she calls my name, I go in feeling good about it
She smiles and sets my CV aside, Says, “I’d rather hear more about you.
Thanks for coming today, nice resume, But besides all this, what do you do?”
This is the question I’ve waited to answer, My whole life and today’s the day
I take a breath, put my foot on her desk
And I say...

CHORUS:
I kill dragons! I kill dragons!
I kill dragons, you don’t believe me; it’s true
I slip on my armor, I go out and fight
I slay all the monsters, I protect the night
I kill dragons! I kill dragons! That’s what I do.

Knowing I crushed it--I’m awesome, I must have--I head to the bar for a date
He’s cute and he’s nerdy, and I’m feeling flirty, And fashionably late
He buys me a beer, and gets right to the point, Says, “I’m looking for someone
Whose time I can spend, who can hang with my friends, So what do you do for fun?”
Hahaha, I laugh to myself, He has no idea what he’s asked
I wink at bae, and tell him to raise...
His glass. 'Cause

{CHORUS}

What do I say when they ask me if this is real
Or if this is all in my head?
I know this is truer than anything I feel
And last time I checked, that dragon was dead!

That’s why the people who I am friends with, Are also friends with me
There’s never a fight on Saturday night--We agree...

Let’s kill dragons! Let’s kill dragons!
Let’s kill dragons, until we outrun the sun
Let’s slip on our armor, go out and fight
Let’s slay all the monsters, Let’s protect the night
Let’s kill dragons! Let’s kill dragons! All are welcome!
Let’s kill dragons! All of you are welcome!
