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 which is ultimately related to Greek and Middle Eastern mythologies, and the Chinese dragon, with counterparts in Japan, Korea and other East Asian countries.
The two traditions may have evolved separately, but have influenced each 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", which probably comes from the verb δρακεῖν (drakeîn) "to see clearly".
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", which is believed to have come from an earlier stem drak-, a stem of derkesthai, "to see clearly," from Proto-Indo-European derk- "to see" or "the one with the (deadly) glance." 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.
You wanna go to heaven but you never want to die
A silent scream for freedom turn to
Fire turn to water turn to
Stone's the same, the sky's the same, it doesn't roll away
The other side where life goes on is
Close and yet you know it's just a lie
But you're stronger than they are
Feel the wind in your hair
And you're faster than they are
And it feels that you're lighter than air
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you cry
And all the wicked prisons that they built inside your mind
And all the wicked borders that unite us, that divide us
Until death ever different will embrace us in the end
But roll away the stone, and hear the
Wind will whisper out your name
But you're stronger than they are
And it feels that you're lighter than air
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you cry
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky []
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you gaze at the sky
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons
Would you raise up your head, would you cry
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons (You're drawn to the ground)
(You're drawn to the ground)
When you're drawn to the ground by the dragons (You're drawn to the ground)
You created your character
But your destiny is ruled by the die of six
You're standing at the edge of churning black water
A tributary of the river Styxx
I am the master of this world
I could have the earth devour you where you stand
You exist for my pleasure
You'll soon wish you never stepped into my dungeon
Clutching hands grab at your legs
They pull you down underground
You draw your sword, recoil in horror
The serpent's venom takes its toll
I am the master of this world
I'll have my fun with you
One by one your lives are coming to an end
You'll soon wish you never stepped into my dungeon
You're the last alive and you've lost your never
You turn and run you might survive
You need a way to leave this plain
You'll lose your soul if you remain
You see a door no time to lose
Kick it down and run right through
You step into a glowing cavern
Suddenly you hear a voice
I am the master of this world
You're all fools if you think you can escape
You're in this 'till the end
Look around see what you have to fight
The first time I saw you
I realized at once you were an angel in torment
How could I desert you?
I vowed in that moment
Nothing in this world or any other
Would ever threaten or hurt you
Dragons may guard your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Devils wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you
The forces of darkness
May mobilize 100 million demons
An army to keep you far from me
Determined to stop me
They'll spend eternity
Regretting they ever crossed me
They'll suffer, believe me
Dragons may guard your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Devils wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you
Well I'm watching the dragons as they make another claim
He used to be a friend of mine, I called him by his name
Well there's nothing you can say to nirvana when it's packed up in a syringe
We'll call up your mama and bus in all your friends
Well I'm watching the dragons
As they slither out of sight
And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight
Beth lost her sister, they came and they took her away
And there ain't enough pills in the world and nothing I can say
So I tell her I love her and that she's a friend
And each time I leave her, I wonder if I'll see her again
Well I'm watching the dragons
As they slither out of sight
And I wonder who'll be sleeping alone tonight
Then I look in the mirror
The dragon has many forms
I wonder if he's coming for me
Because I have been forewarned
Well I'm watching the dragons
As they slither out of sight
The first time I saw you I realised at once
You were an angel in torment
How could I desert you I vowed in that moment
Nothing in this world
Or any other would ever threaten or hurt you
Dragons rage outside your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Demons wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you
The forces of darkness may mobilise
One hundred million demons
An army to keep you far from me
Determined to stop me they'll
Spend eternity regretting
They ever crossed me
They'll suffer - believe me
Dragons rage outside your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Demons wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you
Dragons rage outside your door
But I'm on my way to save you
Demons wage unholy war
But I'm on my way to save you
To save you
All the hope is gone
I've been keeping the score
As I stand here
I see nothing but tears
Beat goes on
The beat goes on
Through the fire and storms
Through the rage of the soul
It's our condition.
Clear as day the cause
Black as night the effect
There is no button to pause
Or stem the flow of regret
Years roll on
The years roll on
Like a rose embowered
By the wind deflowered.
It's our condition.
So we bury our love
To keep it safe from harm
Then we lock all the doors
That open onto our hearts
Beat goes on
The beat goes on
Through the fire and storms
Through the rage of the soul.
She said this and that
But I don't know who to believe when
When happy endings don't have
Don't have a beginning to depart from
Tell me another story about the clock
In the city that's burning
Midnight starts the early morning
Don't take a break till you hear what's coming
Dragons are breathing fire
And fantasy brings its own desires
Don't get lost in the conflict
Heavy breathing seems to bring on the moment
Kiss her and breathe in lightly
Oh, this can be quite frightening
This night is quite astounding
Nobody's going to sleep
Without hoping
To dream about that special someone
Or maybe
To finally find one
Lay back your head
Against that pillow that you've missed
Worries have finally faded
Into the world you've created
Who knows what to believe in
This world is filled with deception
Honesty is a rare occassion
Don't pass it by if you know what's coming
Sit back, calm down, relax
Who knows how long this can last till it's over
Oh, I might start dancin'
Whether or not this heart is beating
Move it forward
And take it one step closer
I'm sitting
Half naked
My heart racing
My soul long dead
And I'm tracing
The lineage
But I can't tell
Where it started
Here we stand the dislocated
Flung so far from what we'd dream
Hammered down the resurrected
We bear the scars of what we've been
Now the time of new beginning
Though the past will never end
But you will never catch me thinking
It can ever be the same.
Conviction
Undaunted
Direction
Beneath the iron sky
And I've waited
Now I'm shameless
It's our warning
And I'm calling
Through these nights my own reflection
Chose to turn it's back on me
Will you accept my reparation
For the cost of what we've been
I can't stop the wheels in motion
I can't heal a broken heart
But I can bring with my devotion
All the time we've spent apart.
We won't find out
What we suffered all alone
With every light out
Still I never gave up hope
I see a chance now
That I never thought I'd know
We can try now.
I was a young man
I was a coward
I was a blind man
I was addicted
Evening shrouds the reconstruction
Who'd have thought you'd stoop so low
Shattered trust and weak denial
These were the scenes I never cared for
Was the game some damaged ritual?
Do you mark the stones you throw?
But that note was not necessary
It only served the past
Are you lonely tonight?
Are you lonely tonight?
Do you wonder what's right?
Are you lonely tonight?
The totems of your love stand silent
On jagged glass we fashioned our rest
A single magpie shrieks it's warning
My wake up call, my wake up call
The last mistake was so elementary
I broke my back to shoulder your tears
Though recollection tends to bitter
The sweetest taste resides
Are you lonely tonight?
Are you lonely tonight?
Do you wonder what's right?
Are you lonely tonight?
Have you strength left to fight?
Do you bleed more than I?
Do you wonder what's right?
Are you lonely tonight?
No, it's never over
The bonds don't just fall away
The truth before us naked
When only the night's
silent embrace
can comfort the loss
and black out the wake
My pen held above
the unwritten page
The embering hours
absolving your face
Retracing the voyage
It crawls out of view
I sit all alone
with memories of you.
Through thunder and thorn
Through fire and fear
The music your blood
your spirit so clear
On midsummer's night
you stumbled and shone
You heaven on earth
Before and beyond
The soft ocean wind
Your mischievous laugh
I have in my hands
Your pale silken scarf
Forever, my love
Forever I'm true
I missed you so much
I leave this with you.
It is impossible finding
A word to equal the silence
