Dragon
Oriel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Covered in sand
I crossed a barrier
Two cups in hand
Stumbled-along open space
A place where transients awaits
I’ll be there
Oh I’ll be there
Unforeseen
Silent dragon beside me
Patiently
I was struck, eyes locked
A noble creature, in perfect form
Primordial power
Radiates so warm
The Dragon
Is my muse
He keeps me strong --
Behind the scenes
As I dream quietly
Inspired by divinity
I too
See the dragon in me
Yes I too
See the dragon in me
Then Dragon displayed on the dance floor
Spreading magnificent wings
Action - vigor
Alchemist of time
Shifting with my mind
A single breath of fire
Balanced warrior
I fell in
The Dragon
Is my muse
He keeps me strong
Behind the scenes
As I dream quietly
Inspired by divinity
I too
See the dragon in me
Yes I too
See the dragon in me
