The Dragon

In these ruins overgrown I've been walking on my own In these woods rising from debris Then I see the head of a lizard made of stone And here I am The wizard who gave it form Now these green eyes of mine shine on it Sort it out Shaped by hands of time Wearing a crown of sharp twigs Moss and slumber Eye-lids heavy like my heart Aaah A creature born of earth and rain Huhh (Huhh) With eye-lids heavy like the heart that bears the pain It turned to me and said "I felt you from miles away I taste the air with my tongue for the dead or dying prey." "So tell me why you wander the edge of life, my magical child?" Now these fern eyes of mine pale like the water And as day fades I unfold Like a wild river carving its bed I have torn at my soul To have a place in the world Eye-lids heavy like my heart Aaah A creature born of earth and rain Huhh Huhh
