The Valley Of Winds Breath And Dragons Fire lyrics

Gasping for air, descending quickly down the harsh ravaged slope

(you) won`t look behind

Fear drives you continue on, although your chest burns with pain

as does your mind. You are the prey, you are hunted by

a four legged beast of ancient times, a creature that survives

inside a wicked wilderness of hate, and fire.

......They roam land and sky......

Faster you move, cutting through the black night,

Hearing the moan, of wind whistling by -

You must keep on, your family awaits....for...

You and your priceless cargo. With great care,

you grasp at your side. To remind you - of your life giving prize.

Guilt flows quite thin, although you realise....you`re...

Taking the life of another!

Your greatest memory was from when you were very

young, your grandfather told you of a secrret of exchanging

sickness and health. You were appalled - at the initial though

of stealing a creature unborn child. In all your wildest dreams,

you never would have thought it would come down to this.

Two decades later (and) you have a daughter of your very own,

Youre life - your blood - she lies screaming on her deathbed.

This soon, changed things - revolving - in your mind,

You went against everything.

You were taught to respect every creature born of this earth,

Nothing was below you - everything was equal.

Their young holds life - you must slice - their heart out...

You must drain the blood - then feed it to your own,

To save her - you must become a killer indeed.

Then your guilt, it can fuck itself, for you will have saved your child.

Once again - you leave your thoughts behind as you travel

Down onto the floor of the valley and its open space....

Now you can sense something behind you, and your

heart - it starts to race. Your brow is soaked with glistening sweat,

Beyond the dark trees - your daughter awaits

Close is your home, you dare not look back....for....

Fear of what you might see!

You can see reflection - on the trees ahead,

You feel warmth behind your back.

You pray that you won`t die - only a thousand paces to home

You can hear beating wings - of a gigantic creature,

Trying to close your ears - and focus on the landscape ahead

Although impossible - you head the screaming lizard.

You then reach the tall trees, you feel half safe,

Hoping she will lose sight. You feel a mighty wind

flames lick your heels as you`re pushing harder

You hear trees crashing down - behind and beside you,

You see your cave ahead - desperate for safety you feel your mind ache

Wishing you could forget - your relentless pursuer.

Ten paces left - the heat burns behind

In an instant - your body`s on fire,

It enters your lungs - you fall to the ground......death....

comes and you pray for forgiveness from your god.
