Dancing With Dragons - MG Vocals |
LyricsDancing With Dragons© 2012 Sahlen/Starburst, rev. 9-20-12 Once I danced with dragons breathing fire from my mouth Roamed this world a stallion, galloping from north to south Soared above the heavens; no place I couldn't reach Once I was immortal, now marooned upon this beach (chorus) The sands of time are shifting now; the waves caress the shore Stunning glowing victories dull to one small roar Don't fail me now my brother; the one who holds the truth Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? They were the best of times, all in my formative years When nothing could persuade me that I'd ever hide from fears Amidst the universe's unearthly pleasure dome Once I was a miracle, perched upon my throne (chorus) The sands of time are shifting now; the waves caress the shore Stunning glowing victories dull to one small roar Don't fail me now my brother; the one who holds the truth Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? Instrumental break with ohhs and ahhs at 2:13 to 2:31 (bridge) The wisdom of the ages fights for comfort through the night As finely tuned memories continue to take flight (chorus) The sands of time are shifting now; the waves caress the shore Stunning glowing victories dull to one small roar Don't fail me now my brother; the one who holds the truth Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? Why is it you abandoned me, my quickly fading youth? Tag (retarding) My quickly fading youth |
