[VERSE 1] Scales shine Of rare beauty Its hard to find Heart of purity When I walked Inside your cave I saw a shadow And what dragons crave I saw smoke Assumed the flame Called you friend You loved the name [CHORUS] Couldn't see past the glitter But saw your wings of steel Even if designed for combat There's beauty in their appeal I only saw the love Looked passed the things you lack So fly away dragon And don't you come back [VERSE 2] Eyes of adventure Had a wild side A creature of myth Shone brighter at night Never once did I doubt What you had inside I never once questioned Trusting those golden eyes Appeared so loyal You spread your wings When I asked you to fly Could've sworn I saw strings [CHORUS] Couldn't see past the glitter But saw your wings of steel Even if designed for combat There's beauty in their appeal I only saw the love Looked passed the things you lack So fly away dragon And don't you come back [BRIDGE] If you look into the distance Of the land you sit above No one bought the story You tried to make them love And when I told you to fly I didn't see you soar But when you opened up your wings Down I saw you fall I wiped the glitter from my eyes Looked down from where you fell When the smoke all cleared There was no mighty beast at all But there lay a man No greatness outside No beauty within No secrets left to hide [FINAL CHORUS] Finally saw through the glitter Your wings sharp as knives Designed only for combat Hiding out in plain sight I don't want this love Can't ignore what you lack So fly away dragon And don't you come back [OUTRO] So fly away dragon I beg you... Don't come back! [Heavy drum fill, final punchy drum hit] [End]
