Many, many years ago

In Pagan city Babylon

There lived a young man from Jerusalem named Daniel

King of Ancient Babylon

Cyrus the Persian

He held Daniel in high-esteem because of

his great wisdom

Ancient city Babylon

Lived the Great Dragon Tanin

The Dragon was worshipped as a

God in the temple of Bel

Cyrus the Persian

Tanin, old and wise Dragon

Daniel disproved the God Bel and offended the King

But Daniel wouldn’t believe

Tanin omnipotent Dragon

He was alive, but not a God, and he can die!

The King did challenge Daniel

The Dragon WAS a deity

Daniel set up a scheme to show the Dragon was mortal

Daniel fed the mighty Tanin

Several cakes of deadly poison pitch

Tanin died in two days and Daniel was proved all right!

Cyrus the Persian

Tanin was a mortal Dragon

Cyrus the Persian you lost your Dragon God

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh our Dragon God
