Tears Of The Dragon...

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 can't stay away.

Where i was,
I had wings that could'nt fly.

Where i was,
i had tears, i could'nt cry.

My emotions,
frozen in an icy lake.

I could'nt feel them
until the ice began to break.

I have no power over this,
you know i'm afraid.

The walls i built are crumbling.

The water is moving,
i'm slipping away.

Slowly i awake,

slowly i rise.

The walls i built are crumbling.

The water is moving,
i'm slipping 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...
