When the world crashes in,
When I'm frightened within,
There is one place I want to go
That is to hide in the dragons shadow.
In this current climate of silenced views
In this world where freedom is subdued
In times where tyrants rant and roar
Times like these compel folklore
Robin hood and cavalry,
Shining knights from history,
Fairy tale or man of flesh
In time like these we know them best.
Starry nights bring shining dreams
In waking hours tears do gleam
Upon the cheeks that would rather rest
Upon a warmth of dragons chest
Yet cower here in lonely lands
Hiding from the tyrants bands
In dragons shadows I may hide
Waiting for a changing tide.
