"23 Peaks" lyrics

"23 Peaks"

Crazy mountains
Medicine woman
Twenty-three, twenty-three peaks
Twenty-three, twenty-three
In the mountain range
They say
"She went there to heal."
But did she die? Did she die?
Did she die?

And I'm asking to heal
Could you take this burden from me?
Dragon queens
Dragon queens

These blades shooting through my back are killing me
Can you take this away, take this away, take this away from me?

I need your help
To change me back
Back into the woman
I want to be. So, this dragon
Half-dragon/half-woman thing
Take this burden away from me

"Yes. We can. Yes. We can,"
Say the dragons
"Yes. We are the ancient order of the dragons, of the dragons
We are the ancient order of—of the dragons."

"But the truth
The truth is, darling one
You will suffer
They'll grow back every time
Because you need
You just need to accept
That this will be
This will be."

"You'll become
You'll become, become, become a dragon queen."

"You'll become, you'll become, you'll become a dragon queen."
