A fearsome mechanical dragon is attacking a small kingdom, and only a young girl with a clockwork heart can save them.

LYRICS

In a kingdom high upon a hill
In a land of long ago
Lived a woeful king, waiting for the sting
Of death’s impending blow

For a clockwork dragon to the west,
Burned a village all away
Breathing fire and steam, it had now been seen
Heading in the kingdom’s way!

Protective of his subjects, this king issued a decree
He stood before his kingdom and cried, “This is what we need!”

Men of valor who will fight the dragon to the death
Warriors to go extinguish fierce and fiery breath
Selfless knights to fight the battle, man against machine
Heroes who will give their lives for king and queen!

Well the dragon got the King’s best men
They were no match for the beast
To the fire they’d run, and yet one by one
Every knight wound up deceased

Now a wee young girl named Valerie
With an artificial heart
And though small and meek, she was far from weak
She was kind and she was smart

She asked the king, “Why don’t we try approaching peacefully?”
The king, he laughed and said, “Dear girl, I’ll tell you what we need!

Men of valor who will fight the dragon to the death
Warriors to go extinguish fierce and fiery breath
Selfless knights to fight the battle, man against machine
Heroes who will give their lives for king and queen!

But Valerie was strong of heart, and she knew what she must do
Her clockwork heart was guiding her, and she had to follow through
And so she traveled to the fields
And she called the Dragon near
As it flew on down, it could hear a sound
Quite familiar to its ears

The ticking of her clockwork heart,
Sounded so much like its own
And the calming tick had reminded it
of its maker way back home

The dragon bowed to Valerie, to willingly concede
The humbled king then proudly shouted “She’s the one we need!”

We need Valerie to tame the dragon for us all
Who’d have ever thought our hero would have been so small?
She has soothed the savage beast, so sound your horn and drum!
We shall sing her praises now for years to come!

LONG LIVE, LONG LIVE VALERIE!
