Breath of fire Eyes of Gold
No one sees A Tale untold
(Hidden deep within the soul)
Born of man's forgotten sin
Grows with evil deeds of men
(Getting nearer to the end)
Hunting, preying in the night
As men engage in useless flight
(At the end, there is no fright)
Dripping, oozing from the heart
The dragon comes to take his part
(You see - he owned you from the start)
Cannot destroy with arrows true
You cannot run a bullet through
The beast - it is a part of you
Cannot pretend it isn't there
Cannot escape it anywhere
You're living trapped within its lair
There is only one release
But one escape, one holy peace
One way to make the terror cease
The first thing that you must do
Is recognize the sin in you
(Before it eats you through and through)
Next you must seek the Holy One
Jesus Christ, God's only Son
(From Him will the dragon run)
Then you must give your life to Him
And he will set you free from sin
(Your self must die to live again)
Then you can begin anew
And tell the dragon what is true
He has no power over you
The dragon - sin, the victor - Christ
(He died in holy sacrifice)
The dragon - vanquished evermore
By Jesus Christ - Our Saviour, LORD.
