Lyrics to 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 they’re gone, but I’m not free

‘Cuz still they haunt, my life’s 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 Dragonslayer’s sound)

And from my life’s inception

I heard them cry “deception”

I tore them from the burning sky

And now they’re gone

My claim, my shame

The challenge of my name

I’ve torn, my life

The battle’s now arrived

Two worlds, one soul

My struggle to be whole

But now, it’s lost

For that I’ll pay the cost

I fall apart when I look back

Can’t come to terms with these rebellious actions

I can’t 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 I’m 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 Dragonslayer’s call)

Amid their tears and cryin’

I bound their wings from flyin’

I tore them from the burning sky

And now they’re gone

Could I, be one?

Am I a Dragon son?

It’s all, revealed

My destiny is sealed

The things I’ve done

Won’t change what I’ve become

I am, my foe

A world that I can’t show

Father, forgive me for I

Don’t know what I’ve done

Feeling so lost now that I’m found

Creatures risin’ within (They bring the truth now)

My past visions begin (They’re 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 Dragonslayer’s song)

And from my life’s inception

I heard them cry “deception”

I tore them from the burning sky

And now they’re - gone

I raise my shield to hide them

By my own words defy them

Can I undo the things I’ve done

Can I un-be what I’ve become

Amid their tears and cryin’

I bound their wings from flyin’

I tore them from the burning sky

And now they’re gone

It’s what I was

And what I have become

I’m one, I’m one

I am a Dragon son

It’s what I’ve sung

I am what I’ve become

Two worlds, one song

The dragons now are gone

Gone
