Dragons -

I can see the chaos fire burning high and creeping slow

Not on some distant horizon, use your eyes!

Its like blood in the driven snow

Under the sun in the clouds of Heaven, I saw the seven headed dragon

And behold!

I saw the poor in grief

With just the skin that they’re in and their grinding teeth

When the bread runs out and the well is dry

What will you do to survive when your babies cry?

I saw the sun on the clouds of Heaven

Whose light revealed the dragon

Serpentine and ravenous for war

And the tribes of men came to gather round

And placed their bids on the floor to secure their crowns

And they ripped down our walls and our laws

And our choices left by the beast who took our voices

& Lightning lit the heavens as the blood of iron dragons

Spilled from deep beneath the ocean floor

Then the people cried out to be saved

And most were forced into their graves

Those who remained were then enslaved

And into their skin a mark engraved

And I looked and I saw the sign

And the shock of the blast wave left me blind

And the oceans rose with the hurricane

And blocked the sun for the earth to be lit with flames

And we all cried «Armageddon» as the seven headed dragon

Laid waste the world that we’d all known before

And settled every score

Dragons covering the world

We stand in the shadows of wings unfurled

The bodies of fragile men collide

But the transformation begins inside
