Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But no one knew it will get much worse
Water will turn into blood
And soon it will water the ground
The tears all like rain in the garden of pain
Brightness is fading away
The army in black is coming back
Return of the dragon - dragon
With hate in his eyes he's out of control
He follows his rule and kills all the fools
When ever they get in his way
The tears all like rain in the garden of pain
Brightness is fading away
The army in black is coming back
Return of the dragon - dragon
The tears all like rain in the garden of pain
Brightness is fading away
The army in black is coming back
Return of the dragon - dragon
The army in black is coming back
Return of the dragon - dragon
The lyrics of Rawhead Rexx's song 'Return of the Dragon' depict a dystopian world where chaos, bloodshed, and terror have become the order of the day, and the arrival of a dragon heralds the beginning of the end. The dragon represents death, destruction, and anarchy, and the song suggests that the dragon was born into a world that was already murderous and violent, but soon things would get worse. The water turning into blood symbolizes the pervasiveness of violence and the destruction of life. The tears that fall like rain in the garden of pain emphasizes the sorrow and misery that is all around because of the continuous violence.
The second verse describes the dragon as a child out of hell who has grown up in a death machine with hate in his eyes and out of control. The dragon follows his rules, and anyone who comes in his way is killed mercilessly. The tears falling like rain in the garden of pain and the fading away of brightness emphasizes that the world is being consumed by darkness, and there is no hope in sight. The army in black coming back represents the return of evil forces, and the return of the dragon signifies that the end is near.
Overall, the song suggests that the world is heading towards destruction, and there is no hope left. The dragon represents the embodiment of all that is evil, and its return symbolizes the end of the world as we know it.
