Lyrics
Dragon Slayer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I watch the red fire rise
And become all the water
I watch the red fire breathe
How many days will it blind?
I saw a red kite fly
Was it held by an anchor?
I saw a red kite burn
I saw a string gone astray
Enemies change their minds
Don't think you're above it
Infinite blasts of light on wooded cares
Elements in the mine are tipping the public
Focusing on design from burning stairs
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them, hard to see, hard to see
Hear the seagulls
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them hard to see hard to see
Hear the sea
Slayers
Soul stars
I heard the red fire whine
And simmer in the water
Where the red fire wanders
I'll walk in its veins, veins
Enemies change their minds
Don't think you're above it
Infinite blasts of light on wooded cares
Elements in the mine are tipping the public
Focusing on design from burning stairs
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them, hard to see, hard to see
Hear the seagulls
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them, hard to see, hard to see
Hear the seagulls
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them, hard to see, hard to see
Hear the seagulls
Hold them, let them bleed, let them bleed
Find the main road
Hold them, hard to see, hard to see
Hear the seagulls
