TEARS OF THE DRAGON
TEARS OF THE DRAGON
© Bruce Dickinson
For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should have said
In the darkness
I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason
To find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun
And the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building
And I cant stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear
I once believed
The tears of the dragon
For you and for me
Where I was
I had wings that couldnt fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldnt cry
My emotions
Frozen in an icy lake
I couldnt feel them
Until the ice began to break
I have no power over this
You know Im afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
Im slipping away
Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
Im slipping away
