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 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 icy 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 (I throw)

Myself (myself)

Into the sea

Release the wave, let it wash over me

To face (to face)

The fear (the fear)

I once believed

The tears of the dragon, for you and for me


I throw (I throw)

Myself (myself)

Into the sea

Release the wave, let it wash over me

To face (to face)

The fear (the fear)

I once believed

The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
