The warriors return home and in time the hero becomes a king

Decades pass and a dragon is burgled

Raging like thunder, the dragon burns all around

The hero intends to fight, tells his companions to step back

Wait for the outcome at the barrow, I go to attack

Beowulf, the warrior king, stands alone

Climbing down to engage the beast or be dethroned

The mighty one is outmatched, his companions fear for their lives

But a lone man rushes forth, coming to his aid

Together they defeat the dragon but now the king lies dead

Beowulf is sent off by his people and many tears were shed
