Bruce Dickinson - Tears of the Dragon Lyrics


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 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
