The Dragon Lyrics

In a time of ashes, decay, and dust

In a city bereft of open souls

There is no point to argue, yet we must

As we do, all the walls are filled with holes

And the dragon breathes his corrupting flame

We debate the best way to fight him off

We just care about who will bear the blame

Cries of unity are met with a scoff

And as rubble replaces towers weak

All we do is burrow in like the rats

And somehow the dragon is left to speak

Though all he says are lies, not facts

He's breathing

He's rising

He's growing

He's thundering

We're losing

We're dying

We're fighting

We're wondering

He's storming

He's blowing

He's roaring

He's deafening

He's here at the gates

You're screaming

You're thrashing

You're gnashing

You're escaping

He's scheming

He's lying

He's smiting

He's plundering

I'm waiting

I'm hating

I'm raging

I'm lamenting

We're left to the fates

Bananas bring out the worst in we apes

As we hoard them, they rot upon the ground

For it doesn't matter what's on the tapes

If the stewards reject the screeching sound

Disaster is the price that we must pay

We do nothing until a crisis dawns

And I guess that is just the human way

Though it feels we're just like a bunch of pawns

If there's one thing that I have sadly learned

It's that people cannot be trusted now

For they just sat and laughed while their world burned

And looking back, I still cannot see how

Though evolution gave us many gifts

It also gave us limits we ignore

And in this case, ignorance isn't bliss

When the dragon is breaking down the door

He's breathing

He's rising

He's growing

He's thundering

We're losing

We're dying

We're fighting

We're wondering

He's storming

He's blowing

He's roaring

He's deafening

He's here at the gates

You're screaming

You're thrashing

You're gnashing

You're escaping

He's scheming

He's lying

He's smiting

He's plundering

I'm waiting

I'm hating

I'm raging

I'm lamenting

We're left to the fates

Look at all that he wrought

Look at all of the pain

Look at all of the loss

Do you want more of that

I can't cure your disease

I can't reason you out

I can't show you you're wrong

Though it remains the fact

If these ruins fail to convince you still

There is nothing that I can do for you

If you think the dragon has had his fill

You'll be eaten and he won't even chew

He's breathing

He's rising

He's growing

He's thundering

We're losing

We're dying

We're fighting

We're wondering

He's storming

He's blowing

He's roaring

He's deafening

He's here at the gates

You're screaming

You're thrashing

You're gnashing

You're escaping

He's scheming

He's lying

He's smiting

He's plundering

I'm waiting

I'm hating

I'm raging

I'm lamenting

We're left to the fates
