Aphelion - The Dragon lyrics

rate me

All over town

All the people they gather 'round

And they pray to the dragon to give them what they want

It's always the same

With a breath of flame

He cooks up a banquet for all those who remain

And the people say

That it's always been this way

Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon

And the dragon he feeds them all

When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones

And the dragon

And the dragon he eats them all

When the pieces fall, they live off of their own

The mothers would cry

After seeing their children die

Still, they would give to the dragon to fill their hearts with pride

Everyone learned

That they all must take a turn

From the schools and the papers, that all must someday burn

And the people say

That it's always been this way

Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon

And the dragon he feeds them all

When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones

And the dragon

And the dragon he eats them all

When the pieces fall, they live off of their own

One man said

That we're all gonna end dead

By feeding the dragon we cause ourselves such pain

It was too late

For all of those he ate

Without enough surviving to take them off his plate

And the people say

That it's always been this way

Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

Though it isn't perfect, we have to let him stay

And the dragon

And the dragon he feeds them all

When the pieces fall, as he chews their bones

And the dragon

And the dragon he eats them all

When the pieces fall, they live off of their own
