There was a time I was so sure
The power of love would prevail
The light at the end of the tunnel
Could not fail
But, now when I look all around me
Feels like the fire has died
And here you are asking the question:
"Will you keep it alive?"
"Can you wake the dragon
Sleeping in your weary heart?"
She said: "Wake the dragon
Will you fight to ignite
The flame?"
I tried to rise from the ashes
I tried a-shaking the ground
I had to believe that the giants
Could fall down
But now as they rise in the shadows
In towers that block out the sky
"Blow on the ember," you tell me
"Don't let it die…."
"Can you wake the dragon
Sleeping in your weary heart?"
She said: "Wake the dragon
Will you fight to ignite
The flame again?"
I hear you say:
"What if the odds are against you
No certain victory
Ain't it better to go down trying
Than watch them slay your dreams?"
"Time to wake the dragon
Sleeping in your weary heart
Come on and wake the dragon
Will you fight to ignite
The flame again?"
