“Where the Dragons Sleep”

[Soft acoustic, Harp and Flute Intro. Ruhiger, träumerischer Beginn.] [Verse 1] In the hush of the mountains Where the old stones breathe I was born from a story No one believed They whisper of fire Of wings in the sky But I’ve never seen shadows That darken the light [Pre-Chorus] Am I only a rumor? A spark in the cold? A name in a legend That no one has told? [Chorus] Where do the dragons sleep at night? Do they dream of the fading light? Do they wait beyond the stars unseen For a child who walks between? If I am the last of a burning flame Will the sky still know my name? I’ll follow the wind, I won’t let go— Till I find where the dragons go. [Verse 2] I carry their thunder Inside my chest But I stumble like children On every step The world calls me mighty The world calls me wild But no one has told me How to be both fire and child [Pre-Chorus] If they’re out there waiting In silence so deep Do they hear me calling When I can’t even sleep? [Chorus] Where do the dragons sleep at night? Do they guard some hidden light? Do they watch from ancient skies With sorrow in their ancient eyes? If I am the echo of what they were Will my wings still reach them, sure? I’ll follow the wind, I won’t let go— Till I find where the dragons go. [Bridge, Soft → Building] Maybe they’re broken Maybe they hide Maybe they’re lost Beyond the tide But if there’s a spark Left in the stone Then I am not wandering Alone. [Music swells gently] [Final Chorus, Stronger, hopeful] I know where the dragons sleep at night— In every ember’s fading light. In every heart that dares to burn, In every soul that still must learn. I am not the last of flame— I am the start of what became. I’ll follow the wind, I won’t let go— Till the whole wide sky will know. Where the dragons go. [Soft outro, flute reprise.]
