Dragonslayer
Long Ago
The dragons soared above the land
They filled the sky, they breathed fire
But they knew my name
They knew my crime, my past
And they discovered who I was
Who – I am
The creatures soared, they used to fly
Their beauty filled the sky, but no longer
I saw them fall before my eyes
And left my world torn asunder
I fought the dragons then to see
My mortal enemies, we were strangers
And now theyre gone, but Im not free
Cuz still they haunt, my lifes in danger
Thinkin I could end my demons
Hopin to defend my feelings
And they roam again to end my lies
I draw my sword to slay them
By my own hand betray them
Must I confess I brought them down
(This is the Dragonslayers sound)
And from my lifes inception
I heard them cry deception
I tore them from the burning sky
And now theyre gone
My claim, my shame
The challenge of my name
Ive torn, my life
The battles now arrived
Two worlds, one soul
My struggle to be whole
But now, its lost
For that Ill pay the cost
I fall apart when I look back
Cant come to terms with these rebellious actions
I cant recall why I attacked
Why I believed in phony factions
Sins of omission fill my head
Crimes of my mind resound Crimes perfected
And now Im held to all I said
And chained for all I neglected
Honor of my name defying
Courage lost in shame from lying
Can my truth be claimed from all my crimes
I raise my shield to hide them
By my own words defy them
Must I admit I crushed them all
(This is the Dragonslayers call)
Amid their tears and cryin
I bound their wings from flyin
I tore them from the burning sky
And now theyre gone
Could I, be one?
Am I a Dragon son?
Its all, revealed
My destiny is sealed
The things Ive done
Wont change what Ive become
I am, my foe
A world that I cant show
Father, forgive me for I
Dont know what Ive done
Feeling so lost now that Im found
Creatures risin within (They bring the truth now)
My past visions begin (Theyre absolute now)
Searching inside I am bound (Bound to the same thing)
I am the same thing
Do I breathe fire now?
I draw my sword to slay them
By my own hand betray them
Must I confess that all along
(This was the Dragonslayers song)
And from my lifes inception
I heard them cry deception
I tore them from the burning sky
And now theyre – gone
I raise my shield to hide them
By my own words defy them
Can I undo the things Ive done
Can I un-be what Ive become
Amid their tears and cryin
I bound their wings from flyin
I tore them from the burning sky
And now theyre gone
Its what I was
And what I have become
Im one, Im one
I am a Dragon son
Its what Ive sung
I am what Ive become
Two worlds, one song
The dragons now are gone
Gone
