[Verse 1] The lanterns glowed Along the streets Golden rivers Beneath my feet I asked my father Where light begins He shut the door And sent me in But curiosity Is hard to chain So I followed pipes Through earth and rain Below the city Far from the sky I found a dragon Too weak to fly [Chorus] (I hear your heart) Under the stone (I hear your heart) Beating alone If I could fly I'd carry you home (I hear your heart) Down here alone [Verse 2] Its scales were worn Its eyes were dim The city's towers Fed on him I wiped the tears From iron skin And watched the furnace Breathe within I pulled the chains Until I bled The dragon smiled And shook its head It said "Some cages Are built so wide The prisoners Live outside" [Chorus] (I hear your heart) Under the stone (I hear your heart) Beating alone If I could fly I'd carry you home (I hear your heart) Down here alone [Breakdown / Bridge] The next time down Its wings were torn For teaching me Where light is born But still it laughed Through broken teeth "One day you'll break These chains with me" [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] (I hear your heart) Under the stone (I hear your heart) Beating alone If I could fly I'd carry you home Dragon don't die Down here alone (I hear your heart) Under the stone (I hear your heart) Beating alone If I could fly I'd carry you home (I hear your heart) Down here alone
