A dragon is a legendary creature, typically with serpentine or reptilian traits, that features in the myths of many cultures. There are two distinct cultural traditions of dragons: the European dragon, derived from European folk traditions and ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan (namely the Japanese dragon), Korea and other East Asian countries.
The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each other to a certain extent, particularly with the cross-cultural contact of recent centuries. The English word dragon derives from Greek δράκων (drákōn), "dragon, serpent of huge size, water-snake".
The word dragon entered the English language in the early 13th century from Old French dragon, which in turn comes from Latin draconem (nominative draco) meaning "huge serpent, dragon", from the Greek word δράκων, drakon (genitive drakontos, δράκοντος) "serpent, giant seafish". The Greek and Latin term referred to any great serpent, not necessarily mythological, and this usage was also current in English up to the 18th century.

Creates a monster composed of dead bodies
Creeping carcass - of death's house vengeance
Blind giants forge the armour of clean hearts
Oh, Lord have pity, release us from his hands!
Creeping carcass - of death's house vengeance
Weird nightmares - an assassin is born stripped of
feelings
Lord of darkness and fear
Nightmare turns the world into hell
In battlefield bloom the flowers of fire
Powerful and evil
Who'll set us free?
Fear is with him, the sower of graves
Anger fills the bowels of evil
He destroys holy places devoted to resurrection
Saliva boils with hatred, sinks in the ground mixed with
blood
The damned are walking along
Blind instruments under the curse of power
Many have dies of those who turned to spit in his face
Death picks his harvest
The sky opens, the Monster burns in flames
