Uncut Pages - Dragon Lyrics

Shoulder to shoulder
Door after door
I used to think they leaned together for support
Now I'm not so sure
I see the darkened windows
Each step a jutting chin
The ranks are pulling tighter, tighter
And there is no way in

But I, I smell your coal sweet breath - breath of a dragon
Its sweet scent roars from your belly to make gentle curls
Serpent smoke like a flag unfurls
Curls of steam they merge and meet
Leaves release their fragrance sweet
Blackened gyre in my cup
What fortune when you turn it up?

What lies beneath defines the shape
Like an ancient skull
Refleshed remade
This heart of darkness has been gouged away
Discarded fragments
Covered like a painful memory

But I, I smell your coal sweet breath - breath of a dragon
Its sweet scent roars from your belly to make gentle curls
Serpent smoke like a flag unfurls
Curls of steam they merge and meet
Leaves release their fragrance sweet
Blackened gyre in my cup
What fortune when you turn it up?
