The Slaying of Onyxia (by Unified Guild)
:-by Zhishi
 In these dark times, when war and pride 
 Looms as a dark and evil tide 
 A band of heros Unified 
 To slay a fearsome dragon 
 
 Though many times we failed to win 
 The Light raised us to try again 
 And bravely we once more went in 
 To battle with the dragon 
 
 And so we stood before her lair 
 And knew the black beast living there 
 Was slumbering, and unaware 
 We'd come for her, the dragon 
 
 Through her protectors first we fought 
 And in the fiery waves were caught 
 The path was won, though dearly bought 
 That led us to the dragon 
 
 The words of power filled the air 
 To give us strength and courage there 
 With one last check, we did prepare 
 To slay the mighty dragon 
 
 Then Moridin cried out "Attack!" 
 And we all charged her at his back 
 He drew his sword, with it to hack 
 The scaled hide of the dragon 
 
 And when the focus of her ire 
 That dwarf, ignoring wounds most dire 
 Called for us all to aim our fire 
 At that ferocious dragon 
 
 We set on her with sword and mace 
 And spells and arrows flew through space 
 While healers' desperate prayers erase 
 The pain caused by the dragon 
 
 She cried "I'll bring this to a close!" 
 And up into the air she rose 
 To breathe down fire on her foes 
 That dared to fight the dragon 
 
 But even there, our onslaught stayed 
 And brought her children to her aid 
 To wreak great havoc in the raid 
 Still wounding that old dragon 
 
 Against them, too, we held our ground 
 And when her whelplings all were downed 
 She screamed her rage, a fearful sound 
 Grief stricken was the dragon 
 
 She landed with a mighty roar 
 And lava split the shaking floor 
 We all fled mindlessly before 
 The fury of the dragon 
 
 But Malorye cried out commands 
 And guided weapons, spells and hands 
 To face the fear and take our stands 
 Against that dying dragon 
 
 And though she raged and fought and roared 
 Her tail lashed out, her talons gored 
 We, side by side, with one accord 
 Did slay the mighty dragon 
 
 And when the evil beast was dead 
 As his due right, the dwarf we pled 
 To take the severed, ugly head 
 A trophy from the dragon 
 
 And so, to Stormwind he will go 
 Her conquered head a prize to show 
 And hang on high, so those below 
 Can mock that once-feared dragon 
 
 (Not really in the spirit of the rest, but I can't stay serious for too long. Just can't. Sowwy. ) 
 Adventurers all, brave and bold 
 Who fight for honor (and for gold) 
 For this brave crew, a toast we hold... 
 So let's all raise a flagon!
