tears of the dragon

Singer: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 can't 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 couldn't fly

where i was

i had tears i couldn't cry

my emotions

frozen in an iced lake

i couldn't 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. 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

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

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
