Dragon
Key: G Phrygian (G, Ab, Bb, C, D, Eb, F, G)
Time Signature: 4/4
Tempo: 135 bpm
With patience I wait
In sunlight, in darkness
Despite my delay I am the one who brings the fire
And I come all at once
And yes, I’m breathing fine
Overcome by the fire inside
Did I have this unknowingly?
Bright as fire, waiting
Breathe in. Find me.
Breathe out. Changing.
Breathe in. Find me.
Breathe out. Changing.
At least this once I’ll be fine and realize I’m like a dragon inside
And if I’m lost, I’ll be fine
From here on out unleash the dragon inside
Persistent, I wait
Despite these afflictions
A creature of flight
I am the one who braved the fire
Breathe in. Find me.
Breathe out. Changing.
Breathe in. Find me.
Breathe out. Changing.
At least this once I’ll be fine and realize I’m like a dragon inside
And if I’m lost, I’ll be fine
From here on out unleash the dragon inside
And don’t you take my heartache for granted (x2)
But, I don’t fight it
Don’t want to abstain
In spite of misgivings I’m burning inside and I’m changing
It’s like I’m on fire
The world’s my prey
I’m hunting
This is who I am
At least this once I’ll be fine and realize I’m like a dragon inside
And if I’m lost, I’ll be fine
From here on out unleash the dragon inside
I’m like a dragon inside (x4)
Vanguard
Key: C Phrygian (C, Db, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb, C)
Time Signature: 6/8
Tempo: 103 bpm
Take my uncertainty
I know that it’s no way to go alone
It’s oh, so tempting to disguise
Not hold my head up high
Wake up and I’ll find I’m sleeping, or am I just dreaming?
Am I even here, or did I loose myself?
What’s the reason for all this?
Why can’t I ignore this?
I must break away.
Free, free this fantasy
I know I’m the one who holds it all down
It’s so elating to decide I’ll hold my head up high
Will I ever know the reason?
Envision
Inspire
To fly on without time
Wake up and I’ll find I’m sleeping, or am I just dreaming?
Am I even here, or did I loose myself?
What’s the reason for all this?
Why can’t I ignore this?
I must break away.
Breath in this reverie
Imbibe all the flavors that make the mold move
It’s oh so taxing when alive
I’ll hold your head up high
Will I ever know the reason?
Envision
Inspire
To fly on without time
And I am worthy
Abandon pessimism
Taken before them, to, to change it all
And bequeath my fire to all
Breaking away, and away, and away
I’m breaking away
Breaking the seams
I am the one
I am the flame
This is the way
This is okay
I am the brave, the brave, the brave, and I’m breaking away
Breaking the seams
I am the one
I am the flame
This is the way
This is okay
I am the brave, the brave, the brave, and I’m breaking away
Will I ever know the reason?
Envision
Inspire
To fly on without time
