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
