Hawkwind - Dragon Song lyrics
[Hawkwind - Dragon Song lyrics]
Those ancient gods of mine and thine
Proclaimed our twin fates intertwined
And named our day of destiny
Calling all to come and feast
To witness blood of man and beast
Intermingled West to East
North to South and sea to sea
Mortal shall have dragon kin
Share blood in virtue and in sin
'gainst common enemies shall win
And ever bound in twain shall be!
Now dragons wake to dragon's flight
Dragon beauty, dragon bright
Rise in vengeance, soar to fight
Dragons roar fills up the night
Firedrake's form blots out the Moon
Dragons rise from sleeping grave
When brothers sing the dragons tune
Echoing through the dragon's cave
Dragon singer, dragon cry
Dragon rider mounts the sky
Dragon brother, legends fame
Hear me call the dragon names:
Flamefang! Hornblow! Rainbow Wing!
'Tis time we heard the dragons sing
Spiketail! Sharpclaw! Snout-On-Fire!
Create our enemies' funeral pyre
Steelcrest! Blackscale! Golden Bone!
Rise to defend the Dragon Throne
(Dragon steed bears dragon kin
Towards the howling battle din
Dragon rider's cry is wild
Dragon mother, dragon child
Dragons' wings unfolded wide
Aloft now spreads the dragon tide
Dragons dive and dragons sear
Bring the death which all men fear
For Death is now the dragon's bride
Upward now the dragons spear
Higher where the air is clear
Above the clouds, close to the Sun
Dragon brothers, we are one!
Dragons kill and dragons slay
Dragons fly towards the fray
Pay the price all dragons pay
For victory brings our funeral day)
