Lyrics
The Morning Of The Dragon
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.
It is three years later. Saigon has been renamed Ho Chi Minh City. A street pageant is
celebrating the glorious victory of North Vietnam and the Third Anniversary of
Reunification.)
FIRST GROUP
on silent feet it came
breathing a sheet of flame, it came
closing in on its rightful prey
burning a hundred years away
the morning of the dragon truth lit up the street
the tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet
and in the clear white heat of dawn
was gone
FIRST GROUP
from every door they came
these children born of war, they came
sharing a secret word, which they
waited a hundred years to say
SECOND GROUP
victory
victory
victory
FIRST GROUP
the morning of the dragon truth lit up the street
the tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet
and in the clear white heat of dawn
it's gone
SECOND GROUP
the morning of the dragon all the walls fell down
brother greeted brother in a sudden light
and in the endless night
was gone
FIRST GROUP
on silent feet it came
breathing a sheet of flame, it came
closing in on its rightful prey
burning a hundred years away
SECOND GROUP
victory
victory
victory
THIRD GROUP
may all our children learn
the tide of night will turn
FIRST GROUP
the morning of the dragon truth lit up the street
the tiger we were stalking walked on paper feet
and in the clear white heat of dawn
was gone
