"The Valley Of Winds Beneath The Dragons Fire" lyrics
"The Valley Of Winds Beneath The Dragons Fire"
Gasping for air, descending quickly down the harsh ravaged slope you won't look behind
Fear drives you continue on, although your chest burns with pain as does your mind
You are the prey, you are hunted by a four legged beast of ancient times
A creature that survives inside a wicked wilderness of hate, and fire
They roam land and sky...
Faster you move, cutting through the black night
Hearing the moan, of wind whistling by
You must keep on, your family awaits... for...
You and your priceless cargo
With great care, you grasp at your side
To remind you of your life giving prize
Guilt flows quite thin, although you realise...
You're... taking the life of another!
Your greatest memory was from when you were very young
Your grandfather told you of a secret of exchanging sickness and health
You were appalled - at the initial though of stealing a creature unborn child
In all your wildest dreams, you never would have thought it would come down to this
Two decades later you have a daughter of your very own
You're life - your blood - she lies screaming on her deathbed
This soon, changed things - revolving - in your mind
You went against everything
You were taught to respect every creature born of this earth
Nothing was below you - everything was equal
Their young holds life - you must slice - their heart out...
You must drain the blood - then feed it to your own
To save her - you must become a killer indeed
Then your guilt, it can fuck itself, for you will have saved your child
Once again - you leave your thoughts behind as you travel
Down onto the floor of the valley and it's open space
Now you can sense something behind you, and your heart - it starts to race
Your brow is soaked with glistening sweat
Beyond the dark trees - your daughter awaits
Close is your home, you dare not look back...
For... fear of what you might see!
You can see reflection - on the trees ahead
You feel warmth behind your back
You pray that you won't die - only a thousand paces to home
You can hear beating wings - of a gigantic creature
Trying to close your ears - and focus on the landscape ahead
Although impossible - you head the screaming lizard
You then reach the tall trees, you feel half safe
Hoping she will lose sight
You feel a mighty wind - flames lick your heels as you're pushing harder
You hear trees crashing down - behind and beside you
You see your cave ahead - desperate for safety you feel your mind ache
Wishing you could forget - your relentless pursuer
Ten paces left - the heat burns behind
In an instant - your body's on fire
It enters your lungs - you fall to the ground... death...
Comes and you pray for forgiveness from your god
