Bruce Dickinson - Tears Of The Dragon lyrics

[B. 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 [CHORUS:] 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 [REPEAT CHORUS] [SOLO] Slowly I awake Slowly I rise The walls I built are crumbling The water is moving, I'm slipping away [REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]
