Dragon's Day
All my life I’ve desired a thing I cannot know
And wished to be a place I cannot go
Loved women who cannot love me back
Befriended people who stabbed me in the back
Never once have I complained or raised the alarm
Not even when they punch me in the arm
Or the eye or whatever or wherever they choose
Because I know if I protest I will surely loose
And yet within my soul darkness I see is rising
Filling up the places in me where I had been hiding
And now fangs I feel in my mouth, Oh terror
Eyes of red stare back at me in my broken mirror
THE DRAGON KING LIVES!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
Can’t you see; Oh get away as fast as you can
Run, I say, Run hide, hide my little lamb
I’ll take no more of this but from now on I will give
I have seen terror enough; from now on I’ll live it
The wings and things upon my back lift me in the air
The night sky beckons to me and soon I’ll be there
I raise my head and roar aloud awakened in the night
My anger kindled in my breast chases away the light
The sun dawns no more, pretty one, at least not for you
Rest assured my hated one, your suffering is through
For in my hands you safely rest, sleep little one
When I am through and all this nights’ terror done
You will hurt me no more and no one else ever again
They will send your things to your next of kin
All they’ll find of you, next morn, is some charcoal
For I have come, my love to claim your human soul
You cannot recognize the evil you have created
By your act of selfishness and by your hatred
You’ve changed forever what have been and killed me too
Now I’ve returned to do the same things to you
THE DRAGON KING HAS RETURNED!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
It’s not my fault Oh you scream but no one can hear you
Writhing in my grasp my talons wait to tear you
Into pieces as I announce my eternal arrival
The dragon king he wakes no other is his rival
I rest alone on my throne constructed of human bones
And horde to me treasures unseen and unknown
Gazing out upon the beauty of death and destruction
I smile and admire the craftsmanship of my construction
Oh thing I’ve become or maybe become again
The highest hate and the strongest evil in the land
I’ll never know because of you I’ll never be the same
It is you that has cause this dragon’s day
THE DRAGON KING LIVES!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
With dragon’s wings and dragons breath death is flying high
Onward we press into an eternal starless tearful night
I hope you lived as you wished and needed nothing more
And yet I fear you hadn’t wished for anything more
Now I drop to your death a thousand feet below
As I watch you break in two I wish that you could know
You were the first but not the last to feel the dragon’s wrath
So try all hated ones to stay out of the dragon’s path
The king has returned with an iron fist
And on black leathery wings that death has kissed
He raised a sword of battle to the sky
And on dragon’s wings he now does fly
The sun it sets this night, nevermore it rises
Sleeping citizens of the world awake to deadly surprises
The sleeping king has waken oh deadly magic
Bringing to them a dream oh so tragic
THE DRAGON KING LIVES!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
And now you sit next to my throne your death returns you here
Now to see the thing you caused year after lonely year
Your eyes pried open you never sleep again
No one could ever again stop your pain
Would it not have better been to let a sleeping dragon lie?
And wished to be a place I cannot go
Loved women who cannot love me back
Befriended people who stabbed me in the back
Never once have I complained or raised the alarm
Not even when they punch me in the arm
Or the eye or whatever or wherever they choose
Because I know if I protest I will surely loose
And yet within my soul darkness I see is rising
Filling up the places in me where I had been hiding
And now fangs I feel in my mouth, Oh terror
Eyes of red stare back at me in my broken mirror
THE DRAGON KING LIVES!
LONG LIVE THE KING!
Can’t you see; Oh get away as fast as you can
Run, I say, Run hide, hide my little lamb
I’ll take no more of this but from now on I will give
