Tears of the Dragon Lyrics

von Bruce 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 (I throw)
Myself (myself)
Into the sea
Release the' wave
Let it wash over me
To face (to face)
The fear (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

Chorus

Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving
I'm slipping away

Chorus (repeat 2x)
